Abstract

A communication device that performs a random access procedure, the communication device includes a transmitter and a controller. The transmitter configured to transmit a first signal in the random access procedure and a second signal which is not a signal of the random access procedure. The controller configured to perform control so that first information included in a first subheader corresponding to the first signal is included in a second subheader corresponding to the second signal and is transmitted.

Claims (39)

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

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

controller circuitry configured to:

perform control so that first information included in a first subheader corresponding to the first signal is included in a second subheader corresponding to the second signal and is transmitted; and

perform control so that a value of a second bit of the first subheader is set to 0, wherein the value of 0 indicates that the first signal and the second signal are simultaneously transmitted.

2. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller circuitry controls the first signal and the second signal to be simultaneously transmitted according to information included in the second subheader.

3. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first signal is a message for transmission of a random access response,

the second signal is a message for transmission of data to a transmission destination communication device of the communication device, and

the first information includes a random access preamble identifier.

4. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller circuitry controls so that the first subheader is placed in a subheader other than a head subheader.

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

a receiver configured to receive a first signal in the random access procedure and a second signal that is not a signal of the random access procedure; and

reception controller circuitry configured to recognize reception of the second signal when a second subheader corresponding to the second signal, which includes first information included in a first subheader corresponding to the first signal and corresponds to the second signal, is received,

wherein the receiver is configured to receive the first information in which a value of a second bit of the first subheader is set to 0, wherein the value of 0 indicates that the first signal and the second signal are simultaneously transmitted.

6. The second communication device according to claim 5 , wherein

the controller circuitry determines whether or not the first signal and the second signal are simultaneously transmitted according to information included in the second subheader.

7. The second communication device according to claim 5 , wherein

the first signal is a message for transmission of a random access response,

the second signal is a message for transmission of data to a transmission destination communication device of the communication device, and

the first information includes a random access preamble identifier.

8. The second communication device according to claim 5 , wherein

the first subheader is placed in a subheader other than a head subheader.

9. A communication system comprising:

a transmission source communication device and a transmission destination communication device configured to perform a random access procedure,

wherein the transmission source communication device includes

a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal in the random access procedure and a second signal that is not a signal of the random access procedure, and

controller circuitry configured to:

perform control so that first information included in a first subheader corresponding to the first signal is included in a second subheader corresponding to the second signal and is transmitted; and

perform control so that a value of a second bit of the first subheader is set to 0, wherein the value of 0 indicates that the first signal and the second signal are simultaneously transmitted, and

the transmission destination communication device includes

a receiver configured to receive the first signal and the second signal, and

reception controller circuitry configured to recognize reception of the second signal when the second subheader is received.

10. A communication method for a communication device that performs a random access procedure, the method comprising:

transmitting a first signal in the random access procedure and a second signal that is not a signal of the random access procedure;

performing control so that first information included in a first subheader corresponding to the first signal is included in a second subheader corresponding to the second signal and is transmitted; and

performing control so that a value of a second bit of the first subheader is set to 0, wherein the value of 0 indicates that the first signal and the second signal are simultaneously transmitted.
