Abstract

Provided is a wireless communication mobile station device by which a throughput can be improved in multicarrier communication. In the device, a group control section ( 107 ) controls a subcarrier group, of which CQI is to be reported, among a plurality of subcarrier groups to periodically change, by following pattern information. For instance, the group control section ( 107 ) changes the subcarrier group whose CQI is to be reported, by frame or TTI (Transmission Time Interval). Furthermore, the group control section ( 107 ) specifies the subcarrier group whose CQI is to be reported, to an SINR detecting section ( 108 ) and a CQI generating section ( 109 ).

Claims (30)

1. An integrated circuit for controlling a process comprising:

generating a CQI for each subcarrier (SC) group, wherein a plurality of subcarriers that are consecutive in a frequency domain are grouped into multiple SC groups, and

reporting the CQIs for all of the multiple SC groups, respectively, in inconsecutive time resources in turn according to a predefined period,

wherein:

reporting of the CQI for one of the multiple SC groups is repeated according to a second predefined period that is longer than the predefined period; and

reporting of the CQI for each of all of the multiple SC groups is repeated, such that reportings of CQIs for all of the multiple SC groups, respectively, are repeated according to the same second predefined period.

2. The integrated circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the reportings of the CQIs for all of the multiple SC groups are cyclically repeated.

3. The integrated circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the SC group for which the CQI is reported is changed according to the predefined period.

4. The integrated circuit according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of the CQIs are reported at a predetermined interval.

5. The integrated circuit according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of the CQIs are reported per a predetermined number of TTIs.

6. The integrated circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the SC group includes a plurality of subcarriers that are consecutive in the frequency domain.

7. The integrated circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the SC group includes a plurality of resource blocks, each of which including a plurality of subcarriers that are consecutive in the frequency domain.

8. The integrated circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the SC group includes a plurality of subbands, each of which including a plurality of subcarriers that are consecutive in the frequency domain.

9. The integrated circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the process further comprises receiving information indicative of the predefined period for the CQI reporting, and at least two of the CQIs are reported based on the information.

10. An integrated circuit for controlling a process comprising:

transmitting data to a mobile station apparatus using a plurality of subcarriers that are consecutive in a frequency domain; and

receiving a CQI, which is reported from the mobile station apparatus, for each subcarrier (SC) group, the plurality of subcarriers being grouped into multiple SC groups,

wherein:

the CQIs for all of the multiple SC groups are respectively reported in inconsecutive time resources in turn according to a predefined period;

reporting of the CQI for one of the multiple SC groups is repeated according to a second predefined period that is longer than the predefined period; and

reporting of the CQI for each of all of the multiple SC groups is repeated, such that reportings of CQIs for all of the multiple SC groups, respectively, are repeated according to the same second predefined period.

11. The integrated circuit according to claim 10 , wherein the reportings of CQIs for all of the multiple SC groups are cyclically repeated.

12. The integrated circuit according to claim 10 , wherein the SC group for which the CQI is reported is changed according to the predefined period.

13. The integrated circuit according to claim 10 , wherein at least two of the CQIs are reported at a predetermined interval.

14. The integrated circuit according to claim 10 , wherein at least two of the CQIs are reported per a predetermined number of TTIs.

15. The integrated circuit according to claim 10 , wherein the SC group includes a plurality of subcarriers that are consecutive in the frequency domain.

16. The integrated circuit according to claim 10 , wherein the SC group includes a plurality of resource blocks, each of which including a plurality of subcarriers that are consecutive in the frequency domain.

17. The integrated circuit according to claim 10 , wherein the SC group includes a plurality of subbands, each of which including a plurality of subcarriers that are consecutive in the frequency domain.

18. The integrated circuit according to claim 10 , wherein the process further comprises transmitting information indicative of the predefined period for the CQI reporting, and at least two of the CQIs are reported based on the information.

19. The integrated circuit according to claim 10 , wherein CQIs, which are transmitted from a plurality of mobile station apparatus and which are multiplexed, are received.
