Random access method, radio communication terminal device, receiving method, and base station apparatus
View Patent ↗There are disclosed a random access method for establishing an individual channel between a radio communication terminal device and a base station device in a short time and a radio communication terminal device executing the random access method. In this device, in step ST 320 , a RACH sub-channel allocation unit ( 211 ) allocates a transmission packet inputted from a replication unit ( 202 ) to an arbitrary sub-carrier at the RACH arbitrary time slot at random. In step ST 330 , an allocation unit ( 210 ) judges whether an overlap is generated in the allocation result obtained by the RACH sub-channel allocation unit ( 211 ). When the allocation unit ( 210 ) judges that an overlap is generated in the allocation result, the allocation unit ( 210 ) causes one of the RACH sub-channel allocation units ( 211 ) which has caused the overlap to again perform allocation of step ST 320 . On the other hand, when judgment is made that no overlap is generated in the allocation result, step ST 340 is executed.
1. A random access method comprising:
receiving information which is transmitted from a base station apparatus, wherein said information specifies a number;
generating, based on said number, a random access signal comprised of data units which are consecutive in a time domain and which include a data unit and at least one duplication of said data unit, wherein said data units are identical in number to said number specified by said information; and
transmitting said random access signal, from a terminal apparatus, on at least two consecutive time slots.
2. The random access method according to claim 1 , wherein said random access signal is transmitted using a random access channel.
3. A terminal apparatus comprising:
a receiving section configured to receive information which is transmitted from a base station apparatus, wherein said information specifies a number;
a generating section configured to generate, based on said number, a random access signal comprised of data units which are consecutive in a time domain and which include a data unit and at least one duplication of said data unit, wherein said data units are identical in number to said number specified by said information; and
a transmitting section configured to transmit said random access signal on at least two consecutive time slots.
4. The terminal apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein said transmitting section transmits said random access signal using a random access channel.
5. A receiving method comprising:
transmitting information to a terminal apparatus, wherein said information specifies a number; and
receiving a random access signal which is transmitted from the terminal apparatus on at least two consecutive time slots, wherein:
the random access signal is generated based on said number at the terminal apparatus and comprised of data units which are consecutive in a time domain and which include a data unit and at least one duplication of said data unit, and said data units are identical in number to said number specified by said information.
6. The receiving method according to claim 5 , wherein said random access signal is transmitted using a random access channel.
7. A base station apparatus comprising:
a transmitting section configured to transmit information to a terminal apparatus, wherein said information specifies a number; and
a receiving section configured to receive a random access signal which is transmitted from the terminal apparatus on at least two consecutive time slots,
wherein the random access signal is generated based on said number at the terminal apparatus and comprised of data units which are consecutive in a time domain and which include a data unit and at least one duplication of said data unit, and said data units are identical in number to said number specified by said information.
8. The base station apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein said receiving section receives said random access signal which is transmitted using a random access channel.
