That is, the control information includes a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) part, and this CRC part is masked by the terminal ID of the transmission target terminal in the base station. Therefore, the terminal cannot determine whether or not the received control information is control information destined for the own device until the CRC part of the received control information is demasked with the terminal ID of the own device.

- Embodiment 2 Based on the likelihood after synchronous detection as one of the determination methods on the base station side to determine which of the SR resource and common resource set or the ACK / NACK resource and common resource set is used by the terminal There is a determination method (likelihood determination). Specifically, the base station first performs synchronous detection on signals allocated to different code resources (for example, the SR resource, the ACK / NACK resource, and the common resource in Embodiment 1), respectively. Next, the base station uses, for example, Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC equalization) or the like for each signal of the SR resource and common resource set and the ACK / NACK resource and common resource set.

- MRC equalization Maximum Ratio Combining
- the base station calculates a likelihood indicating how close the combined result of each set is to the signal point of the response signal. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the base station obtains the Euclidean distance between the combination result of each set and the signal point of the closest response signal (phase point ( ⁇ 1, 0) in FIG. 7), and the reciprocal of the Euclidean distance. Is calculated as a likelihood. Then, the base station determines that the code resource of the group with the higher likelihood (that is, the group with the shorter Euclidean distance) is the code resource used by the terminal. In FIG. 7, the set of the ACK / NACK resource and the common resource has a higher likelihood (the Euclidean distance is shorter) than the set of the SR resource and the common resource. Therefore, in FIG. 7, the base station determines that a set of ACK / NACK resources and common resources is used by the terminal.
- ACK is associated with the phase point ( ⁇ 1, 0)
- NACK is associated with the phase point (1, 0).

- the base station combines the noise component present in the ACK / NACK resource and the signal component assigned to the common resource (in the vicinity of the phase point ( ⁇ 1, 0) in FIG. 8B). Synthesize. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8B, a signal near the phase point ( ⁇ 1, 0) is obtained as a synthesis result.
- the base station calculates the likelihood calculated using the Euclidean distance between the combined result shown in FIG. 8A and the closest ACK (phase point ( ⁇ 1, 0)), and the combined result shown in FIG.
- the likelihood calculated using the Euclidean distance of the close ACK (phase point ( ⁇ 1, 0)) is compared.
- the noise component is likely to appear at a position away from the ACK phase point ( ⁇ 1, 0) (black circle shown in FIG. 8), so that as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, The Euclidean distance between the synthesis result shown in FIG. 8B and the ACK phase point is likely to be longer than the Euclidean distance between the synthesis result shown in FIG. 8A and the ACK phase point.
- the base station has a higher likelihood of the SR resource and common resource pair shown in FIG. 8A than the ACK / NACK resource and common resource pair shown in FIG. 8B (because the Euclidean distance is short). Thus, it can be determined that the combination of the SR resource and the common resource is used. Further, the base station can determine that the response signal is ACK because the combination result of the combination of the SR resource and the common resource is the phase point ( ⁇ 1, 0).
- the terminal assigns a signal allocated to the common resource when the SR resource and the common resource are used (when SR occurs).

Rotate the phase (ie, multiply the data part by exp ( ⁇ j ⁇ / 2)). Note that the angle set in advance in the phase rotation unit 301 is opposite to the angle (90 degrees) set in advance in the phase rotation unit 401 (FIG. 10) of the terminal 400, which will be described later, and has the same size. . Note that the phase rotation unit 301 does not rotate the phase of the reference signal portion (that is, R 0 to R 2 shown in FIG. 1) of the signal input from the correlation processing unit 117-3. Then, phase rotation section 301 outputs a signal obtained by rotating the phase of the data portion (a signal obtained by multiplying the data portion by exp ( ⁇ j ⁇ / 2)) to determination section 318.

図5は、本実施の形態に係る端末200の構成を示すブロック図である。図5において、端末200は、無線受信部201と、CP除去部202と、FFT部203と、抽出部204と、復調部205と、復号部206と、判定部207と、制御部208と、復調部209と、復号部210と、CRC部211と、応答信号生成部212と、上り制御チャネル信号生成部213と、無線送信部214とを有する。また、図5に示す端末200は、2本のアンテナ1、2を有する。
この場合、端末200において、制御部208は、上り制御チャネル信号生成部213-1に対してSRリソースに対応する情報(循環シフト量、ZAC系列、周波数リソース情報、ウォルシュ系列、DFT系列)を出力する。また、制御部208は、上り制御チャネル信号生成部213-2に対して共通リソースに対応する情報(循環シフト量、ZAC系列、周波数リソース情報、ウォルシュ系列、DFT系列)を出力する。
この場合、端末200において、制御部208は、上り制御チャネル信号生成部213-1に対してACK/NACKリソースに対応する情報(循環シフト量、ZAC系列、周波数リソース情報、ウォルシュ系列、DFT系列)を出力する。また、制御部208は、上り制御チャネル信号生成部213-2に対して共通リソースに対応する情報(循環シフト量、ZAC系列、周波数リソース情報、ウォルシュ系列、DFT系列)を出力する。
この場合、端末200において、制御部208は、上り制御チャネル信号生成部213-1に対してSRリソースに対応する情報(循環シフト量、ZAC系列、周波数リソース情報、ウォルシュ系列、DFT系列)を出力する。また、制御部208は、上り制御チャネル信号生成部213-2に対して共通リソースに対応する情報(循環シフト量、ZAC系列、周波数リソース情報、ウォルシュ系列、DFT系列)を出力する。
この場合、端末200は、PUCCHリソースにおけるSR及び応答信号の送信を行わない。
端末によってSRリソース及び共通リソースの組、又は、ACK/NACKリソース及び共通リソースの組のいずれが用いられているかを基地局側で判定する判定方法の1つとして、同期検波後の尤度に基づく判定方法(尤度判定)がある。具体的には、基地局は、まず、互いに異なる符号リソース(例えば、実施の形態1におけるSRリソース、ACK/NACKリソース及び共通リソース)に割り当てられた信号をそれぞれ同期検波する。次いで、基地局は、SRリソース及び共通リソースの組、及び、ACK/NACKリソース及び共通リソースの組のそれぞれの信号を例えば最大比合成(MRC:Maximum Ratio Combining、MRC等化ともいう)等を用いて合成する。
この場合、端末400は、実施の形態1(図6B)と同様、SRリソース及び共通リソースを用いて、下り回線データに対する応答信号(「A/N」)を送信する。具体的には、端末400の制御部408は、同一の応答信号を、SRリソースを用いてアンテナ1から送信するとともに、共通リソースを用いてアンテナ2から送信するように制御する。
