Abstract

When a base station apparatus and a mobile station apparatus communicate with each other using a wider frequency band consists of multiple carrier components, efficient communication is achieved without increasing control information (control signal) notified from the base station apparatus to the mobile station apparatus. The base station apparatus and the mobile station apparatus communicate with each other such that each of multiple uplink carrier components corresponds to each of multiple downlink carrier components or multiple downlink carrier component groups including multiple downlink carrier components.

Claims (24)

1. A base station apparatus which communicates with a mobile station apparatus using a plurality of downlink component carriers, the base station apparatus comprising:

a transmitting unit configured to transmit, to the mobile station apparatus, control information on a physical downlink control channel in a downlink component carrier, the control information being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel in an uplink component carrier, the downlink component carrier being one of the plurality of downlink component carriers; and

a receiving unit configured to receive, from the mobile station apparatus, uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel in the uplink component carrier scheduled by using the control information, wherein

the transmitting unit is configured to transmit, to the mobile station apparatus, a positive acknowledgment or a negative acknowledgment for the uplink data, the positive acknowledgment or the negative acknowledgment being transmitted on a physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel in a same downlink component carrier as the downlink component carrier in which the control information is transmitted on the physical downlink control channel.

2. The base station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the control information is used for scheduling of the physical uplink shared channel in the uplink component carrier which is one of a plurality of uplink component carriers.

3. A mobile station apparatus which communicates with a base station apparatus using a plurality of downlink component carriers, the mobile station apparatus comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive, from the base station apparatus, control information on a physical downlink control channel in a downlink component carrier, the control information being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel in an uplink component carrier, the downlink component carrier being one of the plurality of downlink component carriers; and

a transmitting unit configured to transmit, to the base station apparatus, uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel in the uplink component carrier scheduled by using the control information, wherein

the receiving unit is configured to receive, from the base station apparatus, a positive acknowledgment or a negative acknowledgment for the uplink data, the positive acknowledgment or the negative acknowledgment being received on a physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel in a same downlink component carrier as the downlink component carrier in which the control information is received on the physical downlink control channel.

4. The mobile station apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the control information is used for scheduling of the physical uplink shared channel in the uplink component carrier which is one of a plurality of uplink component carriers.

5. A communication method of a base station apparatus which communicates with a mobile station apparatus using a plurality of downlink component carriers, the communication method comprising:

transmitting, to the mobile station apparatus, control information on a physical downlink control channel in a downlink component carrier, the control information being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel in an uplink component carrier, the downlink component carrier being one of the plurality of downlink component carriers,

receiving, from the mobile station apparatus, uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel in the uplink component carrier scheduled by using the control information, and

transmitting, to the mobile station apparatus, a positive acknowledgment or a negative acknowledgment for the uplink data, the positive acknowledgment or the negative acknowledgment being transmitted on a physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel in a same downlink component carrier as the downlink component carrier in which the control information is transmitted on the physical downlink control channel.

6. The communication method according to claim 5 , wherein

the control information is used for scheduling of the physical uplink shared channel in the uplink component carrier which is one of a plurality of uplink component carriers.

7. A communication method of a mobile station apparatus which communicates with a base station apparatus using a plurality of downlink component carriers, the communication method comprising:

receiving, from the base station apparatus, control information on a physical downlink control channel in a downlink component carrier, the control information being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel in an uplink component carrier, the downlink component carrier being one of the plurality of downlink component carriers,

transmitting, to the base station apparatus, uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel in the uplink component carrier scheduled by using the control information, and

receiving, from the base station apparatus, a positive acknowledgment or a negative acknowledgment for the uplink data, the positive acknowledgment or the negative acknowledgment being received on a physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel in a same downlink component carrier as the downlink component carrier in which the control information is received on the physical downlink control channel.

8. The communication method according to claim 7 , wherein

the control information is used for scheduling of the physical uplink shared channel in the uplink component carrier which is one of a plurality of uplink component carriers.
