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 (31)

1. A device comprising:

circuitry, which, in operation:

generates a symbol representing an Acknowledgment (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) based on a sequence defined by one of a plurality of cyclic shift values; and

maps the generated symbol to a resource used for a physical uplink control channel, wherein when an index of the resource used for the physical uplink control channel is odd, the symbol is generated as having a rotation by 90 degree on a I-Q plane relative to the symbol generated when the index is even, and said one of the plurality of cyclic shift values is determined from the index; and

a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits the mapped symbol.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said circuitry, in operation, generates the symbol not having the rotation by 90 degree on the I-Q plane when the index is even.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said circuitry, in operation, generates the symbol having the rotation by 90 degree by scrambling the symbol.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said circuitry, in operation, generates the symbol based on one of a plurality of orthogonal sequences, said one of the plurality of orthogonal sequences being determined from the index.

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein said circuity, in operation, generates the symbol having the rotation by 90 degree when the resource is one of two resources, and generates the symbol not having the rotation by 90 degree 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 given value.

9. A device comprising:

circuitry, which, in operation:
