Abstract

Provided is a radio communication base station device which can prevent lowering of use efficiency of a channel communication resource for performing a frequency diversity transmission when simultaneously performing a frequency scheduling transmission and the frequency diversity transmission in a multicarrier communication. In the device, a modulation unit ( 12 ) executes a modulation process on Dch data after encoded so as to generate a Dch data symbol. A modulation unit ( 22 ) executes a modulation process on the encoded Lch data so as to generate an Lch data symbol. An allocation unit ( 103 ) allocates the Dch data symbol and the Lch data symbol to respective subcarriers constituting an OFDM symbol and outputs them to a multiplexing unit ( 104 ). Here, when a plurality of Dch are used for a Dch data symbol of one mobile station, the allocation unit ( 103 ) uses Dch of continuous channel numbers.

Claims (24)

1. A transmitting apparatus, comprising:

circuitry, which in operation, interleaves consecutive Distributed Virtual Resource Block (DVRB) numbers and maps DVRBs, the numbers of which being interleaved, to Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs), each PRB being comprised of a plurality of subcarriers; and

a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits data using the PRBs,

wherein said circuitry, in operation, maps two DVRBs to PRBs in the same frequency within a subframe, a difference between numbers of the two DVRBs being less than or equal to two.

2. The transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said circuitry, in operation, interleaves the DVRB numbers using a block interleaver, which writes the DVRB numbers row by row and reads them out column by column.

3. The transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said circuitry, in operation, maps the DVRBs to the PRBs such that the DVRBs with consecutive numbers are distributed in a frequency domain.

4. The transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said circuitry, in operation, allocates one or a plurality of the DVRBs with consecutive numbers to a mobile station.

5. The transmitting apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein said transmitter, in operation, transmits, to the mobile station, allocation information, which indicates one or a plurality of the DVRBs with consecutive numbers that are allocated to the mobile station.

6. The transmitting apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein said transmitter, in operation, transmits, to the mobile station, allocation information, which is based on a starting DVRB number and the total number of one or a plurality of the DVRBs with consecutive numbers that are allocated to the mobile station.

7. The transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said circuitry, in operation, maps N d of the DVRBs to the PRBs in the same frequency within a subframe, where N rb is a total number of the DVRBs, and said circuitry, in operation, maps the DVRBs with the same number to the PRBs that are separated by a gap of N rb /N d in a frequency domain.

8. A method for transmitting data comprising:

interleaving consecutive Distributed Virtual Resource Block (DVRB) numbers;

mapping DVRBs, the numbers of which being interleaved, to Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs), each PRB being comprised of a plurality of subcarriers; and

transmitting data using the PRBs,

wherein two DVRBs are mapped to PRBs in the same frequency within a subframe, a difference between numbers of the two DVRBs being less than or equal to two.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the DVRB numbers are interleaved using a block interleaver, which writes the DVRB numbers row by row and reads them out column by column.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the DVRBs are mapped to the PRBs such that the DVRBs with consecutive numbers are distributed in a frequency domain.

11. The method according to claim 8 , comprising:

allocating one or a plurality of the DVRBs with consecutive numbers to a mobile station.

12. The method according to claim 11 , comprising:

transmitting, to the mobile station, allocation information, which indicates one or a plurality of the DVRBs with consecutive numbers that are allocated to the mobile station.

13. The method according to claim 11 , comprising:

transmitting, to the mobile station, allocation information, which is based on a starting DVRB number and the total number of one or a plurality of the DVRBs with consecutive numbers that are allocated to the mobile station.

14. The method according to claim 8 , wherein N d of the DVRBs are mapped to the PRBs in the same frequency within a subframe, where N rb is a total number of the DVRBs, and said mapping unit maps the DVRBs with the same number to the PRBs that are separated by a gap of N rb /N d in a frequency domain.
