Abstract

A communication device that performs a random access procedure, the communication device including a transmitter and a controller. The transmitter configured to transmit a first signal which is a signal of the random access procedure and a second signal which is not a signal of the random access procedure. The controller configured to incorporate first information to be transmitted by the first signal into the second signal, and control to transmit information related to the second signal.

Claims (41)

1 . A communication device that performs a random access procedure, the communication device comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal which is a signal of the random access procedure and a second signal which is not a signal of the random access procedure; and

a controller configured to:

incorporate first information to be transmitted by the first signal into the second signal, and

control to transmit information related to the second signal.

2 . The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first signal is random access preamble assignment,

the second signal is a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and

the first information contains identification number of a random access preamble.

3 . The communication device according to claim 1 , further comprising

a receiver configured to receive a third signal, which is a response signal of the random access procedure transmitted by a transmission counterpart device, as an acknowledgement indicating that the transmission counterpart device has correctly received the second signal.

4 . The communication device according to claim 3 , wherein

the controller incorporates second information corresponding to a negative acknowledgement indicating that the transmission counterpart device has failed to receive the second signal correctly into the second signal and control to transmit the second information, and

when the third signal is related to the second information, the receiver receives the third signal as the negative acknowledgement.

5 . The communication device according to claim 3 , wherein

the third signal is a random access preamble.

6 . The communication device according to claim 4 , wherein

the third signal is a random access preamble, and

the second information contains an identification number of the random access preamble that is different from the identification number of the random access preamble contained in the first information.

7 . The communication device according to claim 4 , wherein

the second information contains information indicating a random access preamble corresponding to the negative acknowledgement in the second signal.

8 . A second communication device that carries out a random access procedure, the second communication device comprising:

a signal receiver configured to receive a first signal which is a signal of the random access procedure and a second signal which is not a signal of the random access procedure transmitted by the transmission-side device; and

a controller configured to:

receive control information related to the second signal which is transmitted when the transmission-side device transmits the second signal containing first information to be transmitted by the first signal, and

recognize that the second signal contains the first information.

9 . The second communication device according to claim 8 , wherein

when correctly receiving the second signal containing the first information, the controller controls to transmit a third signal which is a response signal of the random access procedure.

10 . The second communication device according to claim 9 , wherein

the transmission-side device further incorporates second information corresponding to a negative acknowledgement indicating that the second communication device has failed to receive the second signal correctly into the second signal and transmits the second information, and

when having failed to receive the second signal including the first information correctly, the controller incorporates the second information into the third signal and transmits the second information.

11 . A communication system comprising:

a transmission-side communication device and a reception-side communication device configured to perform a random access procedure, wherein

the transmission-side communication device is further configured to:

transmit a first signal which is a signal of the random access procedure and a second signal which is not a signal of the random access procedure,

incorporate first information to be transmitted by the first signal into the second signal, and

control to transmit information related to the second signal is transmitted, and

the reception-side communication device is further configured to:

receives the first signal and the second signal transmitted by the transmission-side communication device, and

receive the control information related to the second signal, which has been transmitted by the transmission-side communication device, and

recognize that the second signal contains the first information.
