Abstract

Provided is a radio communication device which can make Acknowledgement (ACK) reception quality and Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) reception quality to be equal to each other. The device includes: a scrambling unit ( 214 ) which multiplies a response signal after modulated, by a scrambling code “1” or “e −j(π/2) ” so as to rotate a constellation for each of response signals on a cyclic shift axis; a spread unit ( 215 ) which performs a primary spread of the response signal by using a Zero Auto Correlation (ZAC) sequence set by a control unit ( 209 ); and a spread unit ( 218 ) which performs a secondary spread of the response signal after subjected to the primary spread, by using a block-wise spread code sequence set by the control unit ( 209 ).

Claims (20)

1. A device comprising:

a transmitter that transmits, to a mobile station, control information on one or more control channel element (CCEs) and transmits, to the mobile station, data; and

a receiver that receives, from the mobile station, a symbol representing an Acknowledgment (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) for the data, the symbol being multiplied with a sequence defined by one of a plurality of cyclic shift values, spread using one of a plurality of orthogonal sequences, and scrambled by a scrambling code, said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values and said one of the plurality of orthogonal sequences being determined from an index of a resource to which a physical uplink control channel for carrying the symbol is mapped, the scrambling code being e j(π/2) when the index is odd, the scrambling code being 1 when the index is even, and the index being associated with a CCE number of the CCEs.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the symbol is scrambled depending on said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the symbol is scrambled depending on the sequence defined by said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the scrambling code is e j(π/2) when the resource is one of two resources, and the scrambling code is 1 when the resource is the other of said two resources, said two resources being respectively associated with two cyclic shift values of the plurality of cyclic shift values, and a difference between said two cyclic shift values being a defined value.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the scrambling code is e j(π/2) when the resource is one of two resources, and the scrambling code is 1 when the resource is the other of said two resources, said two resources being associated with one of the plurality of orthogonal sequences and being respectively associated with two cyclic shift values of the plurality of cyclic shift values, and a difference between said two cyclic shift values being a defined value.

6. A device comprising:

a transmitter that transmits, to a mobile station, control information on one or more control channel element (CCEs) and transmits, to the mobile station, data; and

a receiver that receives, from the mobile station, a symbol representing an Acknowledgment (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) for the data, the symbol being multiplied with a sequence defined by one of a plurality of cyclic shift values and scrambled by a scrambling code, said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values being determined from an index of a resource to which a physical uplink control channel for carrying the symbol is mapped, the scrambling code being e j(π/2) when the resource is one of two resources, the scrambling code being 1 when the resource is the other of said two resources, said two resources being respectively associated with two cyclic shift values of the plurality of cyclic shift values, a difference between said two cyclic shift values being a defined value, and the index being associated with a CCE number of the CCEs.

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the symbol is scrambled depending on said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values.

8. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the symbol is scrambled depending on the sequence defined by said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values.

9. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the symbol is multiplied with one of a plurality of orthogonal sequences, said one of the plurality of orthogonal sequences being determined from the index.

10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein said two resources are associated with one of the plurality of orthogonal sequences.

11. A method comprising:

transmitting, to a mobile station, control information on one or more control channel element (CCEs) and transmits, to the mobile station, data; and

receiving, from the mobile station, a symbol representing an Acknowledgment (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) for the data, the symbol being multiplied with a sequence defined by one of a plurality of cyclic shift values, spread using one of a plurality of orthogonal sequences, and scrambled by a scrambling code, said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values and said one of the plurality of orthogonal sequences being determined from an index of a resource to which a physical uplink control channel for carrying the symbol is mapped, the scrambling code being e j(π/2) when the index is odd, the scrambling code being 1 when the index is even, and the index being associated with a CCE number of the CCEs.

12. A method comprising:

transmitting, to a mobile station, control information on one or more control channel element (CCEs) and transmits, to the mobile station, data; and

receiving, from the mobile station, a symbol representing an Acknowledgment (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) for the data, the symbol being multiplied with a sequence defined by one of a plurality of cyclic shift values and scrambled by a scrambling code, said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values being determined from an index of a resource to which a physical uplink control channel for carrying the symbol is mapped, the scrambling code being e j(π/2) when the resource is one of two resources, the scrambling code being 1 when the resource is the other of said two resources, said two resources being respectively associated with two cyclic shift values of the plurality of cyclic shift values, a difference between said two cyclic shift values being a defined value, and the index being associated with a CCE number of the CCEs.
