A radio performs random access by receiving control information and grouping a predetermined number of sequences that are generated from a plurality of base sequences into a plurality of groups by partitioning the predetermined number of sequences. At least one of the groups is associated with a first respective range of data amounts and a first respective range of reception qualities. Sequences generated from a common base sequence are arranged in an increasing order of respective cyclic shifts associated with the sequences. A sequence is randomly selected from a plurality of sequences contained in one group of the plurality of groups. A position at which the predetermined number of sequences are partitioned is determined based on the control information. A number of sequences contained in each of the plurality of groups varies in accordance with the control information.

A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a receiving section that receives configuration information indicating the number of symbols greater than 2 for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), and a control section that applies, based on the configuration information, a cyclic shift based on uplink control information to the PUCCH. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, even when transmitting a PUCCH with more than two symbols, it is possible to perform appropriate transmission of the PUCCH.

A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a receiving section that receives configuration information related to an orthogonal cover code (OCC), and a control section that applies, based on the configuration information, a cyclic shift based on uplink control information and the orthogonal cover code to a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). According to one aspect of the present disclosure, even when transmitting a PUCCH with more than two symbols, it is possible to perform appropriate transmission of the PUCCH.

A transmitter in a wireless communication network comprises a Carrier Interferometry (CI) coder and a multicarrier modulator communicatively coupled to the CI coder. The CI coder encodes a plurality of data symbols with a plurality of CI codes to produce a plurality of CI symbol values, wherein each of the plurality of CI symbol values equals a sum of information-modulated CI code chips. Each information-modulated CI code chip equals a CI code chip multiplied by one of the plurality of data symbols. The modulator modulates each CI symbol value onto a different subcarrier frequency to produce a multicarrier signal.

In a terminal, a control unit decides a sequence used for an uplink control channel, in accordance with uplink control information, and a transmission unit transmits the uplink control information using the sequence. Here, the sequence is calculated using cell identification information that identifies the cell to which the terminal belongs, and subcell-specific information relating to at least one subcell included in the cell.

A radio communication terminal that increases the ACK/NACK resource utilization efficiency while preventing ACK/NACK collision, and that causes no unnecessary reduction of the PUSCH band in a system that transmits E-PDCCH control information. The radio communication terminal adopts a configuration including a receiving section that receives a control signal including an ACK/NACK index via an enhanced physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) transmitted using one configuration from among one or a plurality of configuration candidates, a control section that selects a resource to be used for an ACK/NACK signal of downlink data from among specified resources specified beforehand based on E-PDCCH configuration information used for transmission or reception of the E-PDCCH and the ACK/NACK index, and a transmitting section that transmits the ACK/NACK signal using the selected specified resource.

In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes: configuring a common resource space having a plurality of time-frequency resources and code resources, where the common resource space includes a first portion for a first type of signaling and a second portion for a second type of signaling, where the first type of signaling includes at least one of persistent acknowledgement signaling and scheduling request signaling, where the second type of signaling includes dynamic acknowledgement signaling; and allocating, based on the configured common resource space, resources of the common resource space for the at least one of persistent acknowledgement signaling and scheduling request signaling.

A sequence allocating method and apparatus wherein in a system where a plurality of different Zadoff-Chu sequences or GCL sequences are allocated to a single cell, the arithmetic amount and circuit scale of a correlating circuit at a receiving end can be reduced. In ST201, a counter (a) and a number (p) of current sequence allocations are initialized, and in ST202, it is determined whether the number (p) of current sequence allocations is coincident with a number (K) of allocations to one cell. In ST203, it is determined whether the number (K) of allocations to the one cell is odd or even. If K is even, in ST204-ST206, sequence numbers (r=a and r=N−a), which are not currently allocated, are combined and then allocated. If K is odd, in ST207-ST212, for sequences that cannot be paired, one of sequence numbers (r=a and r=N−a), which are not currently allocated, is allocated.
