以上の構成を有する端末100及び基地局200の動作について説明する。ここでは、説明を簡単にするために、図6に示すように、基地局200から端末100に対して、3つの下り単位バンド#1~#3を用いて下りデータが送信される場合を例にとって説明する。図6において、下り単位バンド#1~#3は、10MHz、10MHz、20MHzの帯域幅で、50個、50個、100個のリソースブロック(RB)をそれぞれ含んでいる。従って、端末100宛のデータ送信に用いられる全帯域幅は、ここでは40MHzである。
Xn=(第nバンド内で割り当てられるRB数)÷(第nバンドの総RB数)×α・・・(1)
実施の形態2では、「基地局送信パラメータ」として、任意の端末に関して、キャリアアグリゲーションに用いられる複数の下り単位バンドの全体で、その任意の端末に対して割り当てられた総割当リソース量を基準とする、各下り単位バンドへの配分度を用いる。

X=(自局宛データの総割当RB数)÷(自局宛データを含むバンドの総RB数)×γ・・・(3)
実施の形態4では、応答信号の送信にも用いられる上り制御チャネル(PUCCH)を多重する際に用いられるCS(Cyclic Shift)リソースパターンのCSリソース密度の大きさに応じて、閾値Xth(又は、パラメータα,β,γ)の値を変更する。具体的には、CSリソース密度が低いパターンの場合には干渉が少ないので、閾値Xthを小さくし、bundlingが適用されにくくする。これにより、新たなシグナリングなしで、PUCCH内の干渉の大きさに応じた適切な閾値を設定できる。なお、実際に用いるCSリソースパターンは、基地局から端末へ指示される。
実施の形態5では、端末毎に異なる固有のID番号に基づいて、束応答信号の送信に用いる上り単位バンドを特定する。すなわち、端末は、自局のID番号に応じた上り単位バンドによって束応答信号を送信する。これにより、各上り単位バンドに平均的にACK/NACKをばらつかせることができ、特定の上り単位バンドでのPUCCH内の干渉増加を抑えることができる。
