Abstract

A base station device includes: a processor that executes a process including generating a first data channel, generating a control channel that includes allocation information on the first data channel, group identifying information for identifying a group of data channel and control information that instructs to collectively feed back an acknowledgement related to the first data channel together with an acknowledgement related to a second data channel that belongs to a same group as the first data channel and that is transmitted after the first data channel, and judging whether a frequency band for which a license is not needed to use in wireless communication is being used by another device; and a transmitter that transmits, when it is judged that the frequency band is not being used, the first data channel and the control channel by using the frequency band.

Claims (31)

1. A base station device comprising:

a processor that executes a process including

generating a first data channel,

generating a control channel that includes allocation information on the first data channel, group identifying information for identifying a group of data channel and control information that instructs to collectively feed back an acknowledgement related to the first data channel together with an acknowledgement related to a second data channel that belongs to a same group as the first data channel and that is transmitted after the first data channel, and

judging whether a frequency band for which a license is not needed to use in wireless communication is being used by another device; and

a transmitter that transmits, when it is judged that the frequency band is not being used, the first data channel and the control channel by using the frequency band.

2. The base station device according to claim 1 , wherein the control channel is transmitted in time units from a top time unit to a predetermined time unit from among one or more time units included in a first burst and includes the control information that specifies timing for feedback of an acknowledgement related to each of the time units.

3. The base station device according to claim 1 , wherein the control channel instructs whether to collectively feed back an acknowledgement related to a third data channel that belongs to different group from the first data channel together with the acknowledgement related to the first data channel and the acknowledgement related to the second data channel.

4. A terminal device comprising:

a receiver that receives a first data channel and a second data channel transmitted after the first data channel that are transmitted by using a frequency band for which a license is not needed to use in wireless communication;

a processor that executes a process including

decoding the first data channel,

decoding a control channel that includes control information that instructs to collectively feed back an acknowledgement related to the first data channel together with an acknowledgement related to the second data channel, and

generating, in accordance with the control information decoded, feedback information that includes the acknowledgement related to the first data channel and the acknowledgement related to the second data channel, judging whether the frequency band is being used by another device; and

a transmitter that transmits, when it is judged that the frequency band is not being used, the feedback information by using the frequency band.

5. A wireless communication system comprising:

a base station device; and

a terminal device, wherein

the base station device includes

a first processor that executes a process including

generating a first data channel,

generating a control channel that includes allocation information on the first data channel, group identifying information for identifying a group of data channel and control information that instructs to collectively feed back an acknowledgement related to the first data channel together with an acknowledgement related to a second data channel that belongs to a same group as the first data channel and that is transmitted after the first data channel, and

judging whether a frequency band for which a license is not needed to use in wireless communication is being used by another device, and

a transmitter that transmits, when it is judged that the frequency band is not being used, the first data channel and the control channel by using the frequency band, and

the terminal device includes

a receiver that receives the first data channel and the second data channel,

a second processor that executes a process including

decoding the first data channel,

decoding the control channel associated with the first data channel, and

generating, in accordance with the control information decoded, feedback information that includes the acknowledgement related to the first data channel and the acknowledgement related to second data channel, judging whether the frequency band is being used by another device, and

a feedback information transmitter that transmits, when it is judged that the frequency band is not being used, the feedback information by using the frequency band.
