Abstract

Provided are a base station device and a mobile station device, which can lighten a cell-search processing. The base station device ( 100 ) includes a frame constitution unit ( 130 ) for forming a frame, in which a pilot symbol multiplied by a base station scrambling code assigned to that device and a plurality of sequences contained in the corresponding sequence set is arranged in at least the head or tail, and a radio transmission unit ( 155 ) for sending the formed frame. On the receiving side of the frame, the frame timing can be detected from the position of a pilot symbol contained in that frame. Since the base station scrambling code and the sequence set containing the sequences are made to correspond to each other, candidates can be narrowed to at most the base station scrambling codes of the number of the combinations of the sequences contained in the sequence set, by detecting the sequences multiplied by the pilot symbol, so that the cell search processing can be lightened.

Claims (11)

1. A base station apparatus comprising:

a frame forming section that forms a frame, the frame including a first OFDM symbol and a second OFDM symbol other than the first OFDM symbol, the first OFDM symbol including a first signal generated with first information and a second signal generated with second information, the second OFDM symbol including a third signal generated with third information, the first information and the second information being for simultaneous use by a mobile station to determine scrambling code candidates, and the third information being for use by the mobile station to select a scrambling code from the scrambling code candidates; and

a transmitting section that transmits the formed frame.

2. The base station apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the frame forming section allocates the first signal in a first group of subcarriers in the first OFDM symbol and the second signal in a second group of subcarriers in the first OFDM symbol.

3. A base station apparatus comprising:

a frame forming section that forms a frame, the frame including a first OFDM symbol and a second OFDM symbol other than the first OFDM symbol, the first OFDM symbol including a first signal generated with first information and a second signal generated with second information, the second OFDM symbol including a third signal generated with third information, the first information and the second information being for use by a mobile station to determine scrambling code candidates, and the third information being for use by the mobile station to select a scrambling code from the scrambling code candidates,

wherein the scrambling code candidates are directly determined from both of the first information and the second information; and

a transmitting section that transmits the formed frame.

4. The base station apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the frame forming section allocates the first signal in a first group of subcarriers in the first OFDM symbol and the second signal in a second group of subcarriers in the first OFDM symbol.
