Abstract

By taking into account the power consumption and PH of a mobile station apparatus on an uplink, while communication quality is maintained, the efficiency of power consumption is improved. There are provided a PUSCH reception section 14 for receiving a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared CHannel) signal from the mobile station apparatus; a PH detection section 15 for detecting the PH (Power Headroom) from the received PUSCH signal; a transmission antenna number determination section 16 for determining, from the detected PH, the number of transmission antennas that the mobile station apparatus uses; a DCI generation section 10 for generating DCI (Downlink Control Information) based on frequency assignment information of the mobile station apparatus on the uplink; and a PDCCH transmission section 11 for converting the generated DCI and the determined transmission antenna number information into a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control CHannel) signal to transmit the PDCCH signal to the mobile station apparatus.

Claims (18)

1. A mobile station apparatus which is configured to and/or programmed to use two or more transmission antennas and is configured to and/or programmed to perform communication with a base station apparatus, the mobile station apparatus comprising:

a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) transmission part configured to and/or programmed to transmit data through changing at least the number of the transmission antennas and a number of transmission streams to use; and

a PH calculation part configured to and/or programmed to calculate a PH (Power Headroom) using a maximum transmit power of the mobile station apparatus, wherein

an individual PH for each transmission stream used for transmitting data is calculated by at least subtracting a transmit power actually transmitted through each respective transmission antenna from the maximum transmit power of the mobile station apparatus, thereby providing a PH that represents a headroom for a transmit power relative to the maximum transmit power in a case where one transmission antenna is used, and

the PUSCH transmission part is configured to and/or programmed to transmit the PH calculated.

2. The mobile station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the maximum transmit power is equal to a maximum transmit power for transmitting by using any one of the two or more transmission antennas.

3. The mobile station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the PUSCH transmission part is configured to and/or programmed to transmit the calculated PH at a predetermined transmission opportunity.

4. The mobile station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the PUSCH transmission part is performed to transmit data by using one of SC-FDMA system and Clustered DFT-S-OFDM system.

5. The mobile station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the PUSCH transmission part is performed to transmit data through changing the number of transmission antennas based on information received from the base station apparatus.

6. A transmission method of transmitting data using two or more transmission antennas, the transmission method comprising:

transmitting data through changing at least the number of the transmission antennas and a number of transmission streams to use;

calculating a PH (Power Headroom) using a maximum transmit power of the mobile station apparatus, wherein

an individual PH for each transmission stream used for transmitting data is calculated by at least subtracting a transmit power actually transmitted through each respective transmission antenna from the maximum transmit power of the mobile station apparatus, thereby providing a PH that represents a headroom for a transmit power relative to the maximum transmit power in a case where one transmission antenna is used; and

transmitting the PH calculated.
