Abstract

At a base station, a table is prepared that for each index value among multiple different index values, associates repetition counts of different channels correlated with each other. The base station acquires reception information indicating a reception state of a wireless signal at a mobile station, determines a repetition count for each channel based on the reception information, and acquires from the table, an index value corresponding to the respective repetition counts for the channels. The base station transmits to the mobile station, a wireless signal that includes the index value to notify the mobile station of the index value. The mobile station has a table that for each index value among different index values, associates repetition counts of different channels correlated with each other and acquires the repetition counts of the channels from the table, based on the index value from the base station.

Claims (34)

1. A base station that communicates with a mobile station by using a plurality of physical channels, the base station comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal to the mobile station;

a receiver configured to receive a second signal transmitted by the mobile station; and

a controller configured to acquire information generated by the mobile station according to reception state of the first signal; wherein,

the transmitter is further configured to transmit a third signal including an index value indicating a repetition count for a fourth signal which is transmitted by the mobile station using a physical channel from among the plurality of physical channels, the index value based on the information acquired by the controller.

2. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver is further configured to receive the fourth signal transmitted by the mobile station using a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

3. The base station according to claim 1 , further comprising a table configured with a plurality of index values associated with a plurality of repetition count reference values, a plurality of reception information values, and a plurality of repetition count correction values.

4. The base station according to claim 3 , wherein each of the plurality of index values corresponds with each of the plurality of physical channels, wherein the reference value is corrected according to a power offset value.

5. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit a fifth signal including a power offset amount for changing a transmission power of the fourth signal.

6. A mobile station that communicates with a base station by using a plurality of physical channel, the mobile station comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a first signal transmitted by the base station;

a controller configured to generate information according to reception state of the first signal; and

a transmitter configured to transmit second signal including the generated information, wherein

the receiver is further configured to receive a third signal including an index value indicating a repetition count for a fourth signal which is transmitted from the transmitter using physical channel from among the plurality of physical channel, the index value based on the generated information.

7. The mobile station according to claim 6 , wherein the transmitter repeatedly transmits the fourth signal according to the index value.

8. The mobile station according to claim 6 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit the fourth signal using a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

9. The mobile station according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a table configured with a plurality of index values associated with a plurality of repetition count reference values, a plurality of reception information values, and a plurality of repetition count correction values, wherein each of the plurality of index values is associated with each of the plurality of physical channels.

10. The mobile station according to claim 9 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit a fifth signal including a power offset value for changing a transmission power of the fourth signal.

11. The mobile station according to claim 10 , wherein the repetition count reference value is corrected based on the power offset value.

12. A wireless communication system comprising:

a base station that communicates with a mobile station by using a plurality of physical channels, the base station comprising:

a first transmitter configured to transmit a first signal to the mobile station;

a first receiver configured to receive a second signal transmitted by the mobile station; and

a first controller configured to acquire information generated by the mobile station according to reception state of the first signal,

the mobile station comprising:

a second receiver configured to receive a first signal transmitted by the base station;

a second controller configured to generate information according to reception state of the first signal; and

a second transmitter configured to transmit the second signal including the generated information, wherein

the first transmitter is further configured to transmit a third signal including an index value indicating a repetition count for a fourth signal which is transmitted from the mobile station using a physical channel from among the plurality of physical channels, the index value based on the information acquired by the first controller.

13. The wireless communication system according to claim 12 , wherein

the second receiver is further configured to receive the third signal and

the second transmitter is further configured to repeatedly transmit the fourth signal according to the index value.

14. The wireless communication system according to claim 13 , wherein the second transmitter is further configured to transmit the fourth signal using a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).
