Abstract

A radio communications system includes a base station and a mobile station configured to perform communication with the base station. The base station includes a selection unit and a first transmission unit. The selection unit selects identification information specifying a resource used by the mobile station for transmission of a signal from among a plurality of resources. The first transmission unit transmits the identification information to the mobile station. The mobile station includes a reception unit and a second transmission unit. The reception unit receives the identification information transmitted by the first transmission unit. The second transmission unit transmits the signal to the base station using the resource specified by the identification information.

Claims (38)

1. A wireless communication system comprising:

a base station; and

a mobile station configured to perform communication with the base station,

wherein the base station includes

a processor configured to select identification information, which is allocated for the mobile station, specifying a resource from among a plurality of resources to allocate a dedicated signaling resource to be used by the mobile station for transmission of an uplink signal and

a transmitter configured to transmit a downlink signal to the mobile station, wherein the downlink signal includes the identification information specifying the dedicated signaling resource, and wherein

the mobile station includes

a receiver configured to receive the downlink signal transmitted by the base station and determine the dedicated signaling resource based on the identification information, wherein the dedicated signaling resource is an uplink resource, and

a transmitter configured to determine a parameter which is used for generating a reference signal sequence by using the identification information, and transmit the reference signal sequence generated by using the parameter to the base station using the dedicated signaling resource, wherein

the parameter is associated with a group number of the reference signal sequence, and wherein

the group number indicated by a group number index is a number used for generation of a data unit, the group number obtained as a result of demodulation of a reference signal (RS) of a control channel, and the group number is based on the closest remote radio head (RRH) specified by a position of the mobile station so that the base station uses the same group number regardless of a type of a channel as long as the mobile station does not move.

2. The wireless communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to select the identification information based on reception quality in the base station.

3. The wireless communication system according to claim 2 , wherein the reception quality is a value indicated by channel state information (CSI) measured by the mobile station.

4. The wireless communication system according to claim 2 , wherein the reception quality is a value measured by the base station using a sounding reference signal (SRS).

5. A base station comprising:

a processor configured to select identification information, which is allocated for a mobile station, specifying a resource from among a plurality of resources to allocate a dedicated signaling resource to be used by a mobile station for transmission of an uplink signal;

a transmitter configured to transmit a downlink signal to the mobile station wherein the downlink signal includes the identification information specifying the dedicated signaling resource, wherein the dedicated signaling resource is an uplink resource; and

a receiver configured to receive the uplink signal transmitted from the mobile station, the uplink signal transmitted using the dedicated signaling resource, wherein

a parameter is used for generating a reference signal sequence by using the identification information and is associated with a group number of the reference signal sequence, and wherein

the group number indicated by a group number index is a number used for generation of a data unit, the group number obtained as a result of demodulation of a reference signal (RS) of a control channel, and the group number is based on the closest remote radio head (RRH) specified by a position of the mobile station so that the base station uses the same group number regardless of a type of a channel as long as the mobile station does not move.

6. A mobile station comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a downlink signal transmitted from a base station wherein the downlink signal includes identification information specifying a resource to be used by the mobile station for transmission of an uplink signal wherein the resource corresponds with a dedicated signaling resource used by the mobile station for transmitting the uplink signal;

a processor configured to determine the dedicated signaling resource based on the identification information, wherein the dedicated signaling resource is an uplink resource; and

a transmitter configured to determine a parameter which is used for generating a reference signal sequence by using the identification information and transmit the reference signal sequence generated by using the parameter to the base station using the dedicated signaling resource, wherein

the parameter is associated with a group number of the reference signal sequence, and wherein

the group number indicated by a group number index is a number used for generation of a data unit, the group number obtained as a result of demodulation of a reference signal (RS) of a control channel, and the group number is based on the closest remote radio head (RRH) specified by a position of the mobile station so that the base station uses the same group number regardless of a type of a channel as long as the mobile station does not move.

7. A wireless communication method in a wireless communication system including a base station and a mobile station configured to perform communication with the base station, the wireless communication method comprising:

selecting, by the base station, identification information, which is allocated for the mobile station, specifying a resource from among a plurality of resources to allocate a dedicated signaling resource to be used by the mobile station for transmission of an uplink signal; and

transmitting, by the base station, to the mobile station, a downlink signal wherein the downlink signal includes the identification information specifying the dedicated signaling resource;

receiving, by the mobile station, the transmitted downlink signal;

determining a parameter which is used for generating a reference signal sequence by using the identification information; and

transmitting the reference signal sequence generated by using the parameter to the base station using the dedicated signaling resource, wherein

the parameter is associated with a group number of the reference signal sequence, and wherein

the group number indicated by a group number index is a number used for generation of a data unit, the group number obtained as a result of demodulation of a reference signal (RS) of a control channel, and the group number is based on the closest remote radio head (RRH) specified by a position of the mobile station so that the base station uses the same group number regardless of a type of a channel as long as the mobile station does not move.

8. The wireless communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the dedicated signaling resource is selected from a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

9. The base station according to claim 5 , wherein the dedicated signaling resource is selected from a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

10. The mobile station according to claim 6 , wherein the dedicated signaling resource is selected from a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

11. The wireless communication method of claim 7 , wherein the dedicated signaling resource is selected from a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).
