Abstract

In order to reduce interference between cells through hopping and use frequencies in a good propagation situation, a scheduler section carries out scheduling for determining to which user data should be sent using CQI from each communication terminal apparatus, selects a user signal to be sent in the next frame and determines in which subcarrier block the data should be sent. An MCS decision section selects a modulation scheme and coding method from the CQI of the selected user signal. A subcarrier block selection section selects a subcarrier block instructed by the scheduler section 102 for each user signal. For the respective subcarrier blocks, FH sequence selection sections select hopping patterns. A subcarrier mapping section maps the user signal and control data to subcarriers according to the selected hopping pattern.

Claims (13)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

a receiver, which, in operation, (i) receives control information that is mapped by a base station to a predetermined block among a plurality of blocks, into which a frequency band is divided, and (ii) receives data that is mapped by the base station to a block selected from the plurality of the blocks; and

a decoder, which, in operation, decodes the control information and the data,

wherein the control information is mapped such that the control information is distributed within the predetermined block, which is a partial band of the frequency band.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the data is mapped by frequency hoping the data within the selected block.

3. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of control information for a plurality of data are mapped to the predetermined block.

4. A communication method comprising:

receiving control information that is mapped by a base station to a predetermined block among a plurality of blocks into which a frequency band is divided;

receiving data that is mapped by the base station to a block selected from the plurality of the blocks; and

decoding the control information and the data,

wherein the control information is mapped such that the control information is distributed within the predetermined block, which is a partial band of the frequency band.

5. The communication method according to claim 4 , wherein the data is mapped by frequency hoping the data within the selected block.

6. The communication method according to claim 4 , wherein a plurality of control information for a plurality of data are mapped to the predetermined block.
