Wireless communication apparatus, allocated resource notifying method and data allocating method
Provided are a radio transmission apparatus and a radio transmission method whereby the increase of number of signaling bits can be suppressed and further the flexibility of frequency scheduling can be improved. A notified RBG calculating unit ( 203 ) that adds a predetermined offset value of “1” or “−1” to one of the start RBG number and the end RBG number of allocated RBG number information (b′i) output by a scheduling unit ( 201 ), thereby calculating notified RBG number information (bi). An RBG total number setting unit ( 204 ) calculates the total number of RBGs, which is to be notified, by adding “1” to the total number of allocated RBGs. A notified information generating unit ( 205 ) applies the notified RBG number information (bi) and the notified total number of RBGs (Nrb′) to a predetermined formula, thereby generating and transmitting, to terminals, notified information (r).
