Abstract

The disclosed mobile station includes: a CAZAC code generation unit configured to generate CAZAC code according to a CAZAC sequence number reported from the base station; a cyclic shift unit configured to cyclically shift each symbol of the CAZAC code based on a cyclic shift number reported from the base station, and a block spreading unit that operates with the cyclic shift unit or operates instead of the cyclic shift unit, and that performs block spreading processing for the CAZAC code according to a block spreading number reported from the base station.

Claims (61)

1. A communication control method for determining whether information transmitted from a mobile station in a single-carrier scheme includes reception state information and acknowledgement information, comprising:

a step in which the mobile station generates a first uplink control channel when transmitting reception state information, and the mobile station generates a second uplink control channel when transmitting reception state information and acknowledgement information;

a step in which the mobile station transmits one of the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel;

a step in which the base station receives one of the first and the second uplink control channels, performs first correlation detection for the received uplink control channel to obtain a first correlation value, and performs second correlation detection for the received uplink control channel to obtain a second correlation value; and

a step in which the base station compares the first correlation value and the second correlation value, and determines that the mobile station has transmitted the reception state information if the first correlation value is greater than the second correlation value, and the base station determines that the mobile station has transmitted the reception state information and the acknowledgement information if the second correlation value is greater than the first correlation value.

2. The communication control method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first uplink control channel includes first symbols, and

the second uplink control channel includes second symbols.

3. The communication control method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first symbols and the second symbols have orthogonality.

4. The communication control method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first symbols are obtained by multiplying both of symbols of two reference signal blocks by +1,

the second symbols are obtained by multiplying one of symbols of two reference signal blocks by +1 and by multiplying other symbols by −1,

the correlation detection performed first uses the first symbols, and

the correlation detection performed second uses the second symbols.

5. The communication control method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first symbols are obtained by cyclic shift represented by a first shift number,

the second symbols are obtained by cyclic shift represented by a second shift number,

the correlation detection performed first uses the first symbols, and

the correlation detection performed second uses the second symbols.

6. The communication control method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein first information indicating that reception state information is transmitted in the first uplink control channel is associated with a first frequency block,

second information indicating that reception state information is transmitted in the second uplink control channel is associated with a second frequency block,

the first correlation detection uses the first frequency block, and

the second correlation detection uses the second frequency block.

7. A mobile station comprising:

an uplink control channel generation unit configured to generate a first uplink control channel when transmitting reception state information, and to generate a second uplink control channel when transmitting reception state information and acknowledgement information,

wherein a base station receives one of the first and the second uplink control channels, performs first correlation detection for the received uplink control channel to obtain a first correlation value, and performs second correlation detection for the received uplink control channel to obtain a second correlation value,

wherein the base station compares the first correlation value and the second correlation value, and determines that the mobile station has transmitted the reception state information if the first correlation value is greater than the second correlation value, and

wherein the base station determines that the mobile station has transmitted the reception state information and the acknowledgement information if the second correlation value is greater than the first correlation value.

8. The mobile station as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the first uplink control channel includes first symbols, and

the second uplink control channel includes second symbols.

9. The mobile station as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first symbols and the second symbols have orthogonality.

10. The mobile station as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first symbols are obtained by multiplying both of symbols of two reference signal blocks by +1,

the second correlation detection uses the second symbols.

11. The mobile station as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first symbols are obtained by cyclic shift represented by a first shift number,

the second correlation detection uses the second symbols.

12. The mobile station as claimed in claim 7 ,

wherein first information indicating that reception state information is transmitted in the first uplink control channel is associated with a first frequency block,

wherein second information indicating that reception state information is transmitted in the second uplink control channel is associated with a second frequency block,

wherein the first correlation detection uses the first frequency block, and

wherein the second correlation detection uses the second frequency block.

13. A base station used with a mobile station, the mobile station comprising:

an uplink control channel generation unit configured to generate a first uplink control channel when transmitting reception state information, and to generate a second uplink control channel when transmitting reception state information and acknowledgement information,
