Abstract

Provided is a radio communication device which can make Acknowledgement (ACK) reception quality and Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) reception quality to be equal to each other. The device includes: a scrambling unit ( 214 ) which multiplies a response signal after modulated, by a scrambling code “1” or “e −j(π/2) ” so as to rotate a constellation for each of response signals on a cyclic shift axis; a spread unit ( 215 ) which performs a primary spread of the response signal by using a Zero Auto Correlation (ZAC) sequence set by a control unit ( 209 ); and a spread unit ( 218 ) which performs a secondary spread of the response signal after subjected to the primary spread, by using a block-wise spread code sequence set by the control unit ( 209 ).

Claims (25)

1. A device, comprising:

a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits, to a mobile station, control information on one or more control channel element(s) (CCE(s)), and transmits, to the mobile station, data; and

a receiver, which, in operation, receives, from the mobile station, a symbol mapped to a resource used for a physical uplink control channel, the symbol representing an Acknowledgment (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) for the data, and being based on a sequence defined by one of a plurality of cyclic shift values, wherein when an index of the resource is odd, the symbol has a rotation by 90 degrees on an I-Q plane relative to the symbol received when the index is even, and said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values is determined from the index associated with a CCE number of the one or more CCE(s).

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the symbol has no rotation by 90 degrees on the I-Q plane when the index is even.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the symbol has the rotation by 90 degrees by being scrambled.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein either the symbol has the rotation by 90 degrees or has no rotation by 90 degrees depending on said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein either the symbol has the rotation by 90 degrees or has no rotation by 90 degrees depending on the sequence defined by said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the symbol has the rotation by 90 degrees when the resource is one of two resources, and the symbol has no rotation by 90 degrees when the resource is the other of said two resources, said two resources being respectively associated with two cyclic shift values of the plurality of cyclic shift values, and a difference between said two cyclic shift values being a given value.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the symbol is based on one of a plurality of orthogonal sequences, said one of the plurality of orthogonal sequences being determined from the index.

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the symbol has the rotation by 90 degrees when the resource is one of two resources, and the symbol has no rotation by 90 degrees when the resource is the other of said two resources, said two resources being associated with said one of the plurality of orthogonal sequences and being respectively associated with two cyclic shift values of the plurality of cyclic shift values, and a difference between said two cyclic shift values being a given value.

9. A device, comprising:

a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits, to a mobile station, control information on one or more control channel element(s) (CCE(s)), and transmits, to the mobile station, data; and

a receiver, which, in operation, receives, from the mobile station, a symbol mapped to a resource used for a physical uplink control channel, the symbol representing an Acknowledgment (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) for the data, and being based on a sequence defined by one of a plurality of cyclic shift values, wherein when an index of the resource is odd, the symbol has a rotation by 90 degrees on an I-Q plane, when the index is even, the symbol has no rotation by 90 degrees on the I-Q plane, and said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values is determined from the index associated with a CCE number of the one or more CCE(s).

10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the symbol has the rotation by 90 degrees by being scrambled.

11. The device according to claim 9 , wherein either the symbol has the rotation by 90 degrees or has no rotation by 90 degrees depending on said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values.

12. The device according to claim 9 , wherein either the symbol has the rotation by 90 degrees or has no rotation by 90 degrees depending on the sequence defined by said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values.

13. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the symbol has the rotation by 90 degrees when the resource is one of two resources, and the symbol has no rotation by 90 degrees when the resource is the other of said two resources, said two resources being respectively associated with two cyclic shift values of the plurality of cyclic shift values, and a difference between said two cyclic shift values being a given value.

14. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the symbol is based on one of a plurality of orthogonal sequences, said one of the plurality of orthogonal sequences being determined from the index.

15. The device according to claim 14 , wherein the symbol has the rotation by 90 degrees when the resource is one of two resources, and the symbol has no rotation by 90 degrees when the resource is the other of said two resources, said two resources being associated with said one of the plurality of orthogonal sequences and being respectively associated with two cyclic shift values of the plurality of cyclic shift values, and a difference between said two cyclic shift values being a given value.

16. A method, comprising:

transmitting, to a mobile station, control information on one or more control channel element(s) (CCE(s)), and transmitting, to the mobile station, data; and

receiving, from the mobile station, a symbol mapped to a resource used for a physical uplink control channel, the symbol representing an Acknowledgment (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) for the data, and being based on a sequence defined by one of a plurality of cyclic shift values, wherein when an index of the resource is odd, the symbol has a rotation by 90 degrees on an I-Q plane relative to the symbol received when the index is even, and said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values is determined from the index associated with a CCE number of the one or more CCE(s).

17. A method, comprising:

transmitting, to a mobile station, control information on one or more control channel element(s) (CCE(s)), and transmitting, to the mobile station, data; and

receiving, from the mobile station, a symbol mapped to a resource used for a physical uplink control channel, the symbol representing an Acknowledgment (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) for the data, and being based on a sequence defined by one of a plurality of cyclic shift values, wherein when an index of the resource is odd, the symbol has a rotation by 90 degrees on an I-Q plane, when the index is even, the symbol has no rotation by 90 degrees on the I-Q plane, and said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values is determined from the index associated with a CCE number of the one or more CCE(s).
