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 (37)

1. A mobile communication system comprising:

a base station apparatus and

a mobile station apparatus, wherein

the base station apparatus is configured to transmit, to the mobile station apparatus, downlink data on a plurality of Physical Downlink Shared Channels (PDSCHs) in a plurality of downlink component carriers in a subframe,

the base station apparatus is configured to transmit, to the mobile station apparatus, control information which is used for assigning a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) in an uplink component carrier, the control information being transmitted on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a downlink component carrier among the plurality of downlink component carriers,

the mobile station apparatus is configured to transmit, to the base station apparatus, uplink data on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) in the uplink component carrier assigned by using the control information received on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in the downlink component carrier, and

the base station apparatus 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 (PHICH) in a same downlink component carrier as the downlink component carrier in which the control information which is used for assigning the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) in the uplink component carrier is transmitted on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

2. A base station apparatus comprising:

a transmitting unit configured to transmit, to a mobile station apparatus, downlink data on a plurality of Physical Downlink Shared Channels (PDSCHs) in a plurality of downlink component carriers in a subframe,

the transmitting unit configured to transmit, to the mobile station apparatus, control information which is used for assigning a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) in an uplink component carrier, the control information being transmitted on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a downlink component carrier among 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 (PUSCH) in the uplink component carrier assigned by using the control information transmitted on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in the downlink component carrier, 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 (PHICH) in a same downlink component carrier as the downlink component carrier in which the control information which is used for assigning the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) in the uplink component carrier is transmitted on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

3. A mobile station apparatus comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive, from a base station apparatus, downlink data on a plurality of Physical Downlink Shared Channels (PDSCHs) in a plurality of downlink component carriers in a subframe,

the receiving unit configured to receive, from the base station apparatus, control information which is used for assigning a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) in an uplink component carrier, the control information being received on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a downlink component carrier among 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 (PUSCH) in the uplink component carrier assigned by using the control information received on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in the downlink component carrier, 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 (PHICH) in a same downlink component carrier as the downlink component carrier in which the control information which is used for assigning the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) in the uplink component carrier is received on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

4. A communication method of a base station apparatus comprising:

transmitting, to a mobile station apparatus, downlink data on a plurality of Physical Downlink Shared Channels (PDSCHs) in a plurality of downlink component carriers in a subframe,
