Abstract

A sequence allocating method and apparatus wherein in a system where a plurality of different Zadoff-Chu sequences or GCL sequences are allocated to a single cell, the arithmetic amount and circuit scale of a correlating circuit at a receiving end can be reduced. In ST 201 , a counter (a) and a number (p) of current sequence allocations are initialized, and in ST 202 , it is determined whether the number (p) of current sequence allocations is coincident with a number (K) of allocations to one cell. In ST 203 , it is determined whether the number (K) of allocations to the one cell is odd or even. If K is even, in ST 204 -ST 206 , sequence numbers (r=a and r=N−a), which are not currently allocated, are combined and then allocated. If K is odd, in ST 207 -ST 212 , for sequences that cannot be paired, one of sequence numbers (r=a and r=N−a), which are not currently allocated, is allocated.
