  • a technique is also well-known in which for transmission packet scheduling in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system that utilizes a plurality of sub-carriers, mobile station apparatuses evaluate each channel states of a downlink (frequency characteristics, i.e., frequency-dependent characteristics of transmission losses) and transmit, to the base station apparatus, information obtained by quantizing each channel states, while the base station apparatus determines sub-carriers to be allocated for each mobile station apparatuses based on the transmitted information (Patent document 1).
  • OFDM orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
  • FIG. 14 illustrates a communication method of the prior art between a base station apparatus and a mobile station apparatus. Having received downlink information of a downlink used for reception quality measurement from the base station apparatus, the mobile station apparatus measures reception quality of each channel based on the downlink information to create a channel profile of a propagation path.
  • the channel profile created by the mobile station apparatus is transmitted, from the mobile station apparatus to the base station apparatus, as reception quality information by using an uplink. Based on the reception quality information, the base station apparatus performs adaptive modulation and coding or frequency selective scheduling for signals to be transmitted from the base station apparatus to the mobile station apparatus.
  • reception quality information As for transmission of the reception quality information to the base station apparatus by the mobile station apparatus, in Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access studied under the third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) which is international standardization project, it is studying that the reception quality information is transmitted by using a dedicated uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel, hereinafter referred to as “PUCCH”). And it is studying that an uplink data and the reception quality information are simultaneously transmitted by using an uplink data channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, hereinafter referred to as “PUSCH”).

  • mapping of respective information in simultaneously transmitting the uplink data and the reception quality information from the mobile station apparatus to the base station apparatus there are no specific descriptions about mapping of respective information in simultaneously transmitting the uplink data and the reception quality information from the mobile station apparatus to the base station apparatus.
  • mapping of respective information refers to specific mapping of respective information (the uplink data and the reception quality information) as transmission data, that is, their specific mapping in a resource unit of the PUSCH (the minimum unit of a time-frequency block of the PUSCH) in simultaneously transmitting the uplink data and the reception quality information from the mobile station apparatus to a base station apparatus.
  • the base station apparatus can separate respective data by recognizing the mapping of the uplink data and the reception quality information.
  • the base station apparatus can extract only the reception quality information from the simultaneously transmitted uplink data and reception quality information, and efficiently transmit a downlink data by performing adaptive modulation and coding and/or frequency selective scheduling based on the extracted information.
  • the information amount of control signals transmitted from the base station apparatus for specifying the mapping of the uplink data and the reception quality information simultaneously transmitted from the mobile station apparatus needs to be kept small. Downlink resources would be inefficiently utilized if the base station apparatus transmits the control signals for specifying the mapping of respective information every time in transmitting the reception quality information from the mobile station apparatus.
  • the base station apparatus applies adaptive modulation and coding and/or frequency selective scheduling to the downlink data according to the reception quality information transmitted from the mobile station apparatus.
  • the modulation and coding and the frequency band used for uplink data transmission most appropriate for the mobile station apparatus would change. Even if the base station apparatus performs adaptive modulation and coding and/or frequency selective scheduling based on the reception quality information with a significant delay, it would fail to control the mobile station apparatus in an appropriate manner for the mobile station apparatus at that time. This would result in inefficient use of the downlink resources.
  • modulation scheme and coding rate to be specified in transmitting the uplink data are specified by the base station apparatus estimating the environment of a propagation path based on the uplink data or a reference signal transmitted from the mobile station apparatus. Therefore, in case that the uplink data and the reception quality information are simultaneously transmitted, if modulation scheme and coding rate of the reception quality information cannot comply with those of the uplink data specified by the base station apparatus, the probability of successful transmission of the reception quality information would decrease.
  • ACK/NACK of the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) for the downlink data which is also an uplink information like the reception quality information. That is, the information amount of control signals transmitted from the base station apparatus for specifying the mapping of the uplink data and the ACK/NACK simultaneously transmitted from the mobile station apparatus to the base station apparatus needs to be kept small. Also, the delay in changing the mapping must be small. Furthermore, modulation scheme and coding rate of the ACK/NACK simultaneously transmitted with the uplink data must comply with those of the uplink data specified by the base station apparatus. Any specific descriptions about those three conditions: the information amount of control information for specifying the mapping of respective information, the delay occurring in changing the mapping of respective information, and the compliance with modulation scheme and coding rate of the uplink data are not provided in the prior art.
