A method and apparatus for allocating and processing sequences in a communication system is disclosed. The method includes: dividing sequences in a sequence group into multiple sub-groups, each sub-group corresponding to its own mode of occupying time frequency resources; selecting sequences from a candidate sequence collection corresponding to each sub-group to form the sequences in the sub-group by: the sequences in a sub-group i in a sequence group k being composed of n sequences in the candidate sequence collection, the n sequences making a |r.sub.i/N.sub.i−c.sub.k/N.sub.p.sub.1| or |(r.sub.i/N.sub.i−c.sub.k/N.sub.p.sub.1) modu m.sub.k,i| function value the smallest, second smallest, till the n.sup.th smallest respectively; allocating the sequence group to cells, users or channels. It prevents the sequences highly correlated with the sequences of a specific length from appearing in other sequence groups, thus reducing interference, avoiding the trouble of storing the lists of massive sequence groups.

Methods, systems, and devices for generating preamble sequences where several Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequences are generated based on multiple roots and multiple cyclic shifts per root and combined to generate the preamble sequences. Some embodiments may be used in wireless communication embodiments in which large propagation delays and/or Doppler movement are expected.

A terminal is disclosed including a transmitter that transmits a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) on an uplink control channel; and a processor that determines a cyclic shift used in transmission of the HARQ-ACK, wherein: if the HARQ-ACK is a 1-bit NACK, the cyclic shift is calculated based on an index and if the HARQ-ACK is a 1-bit ACK, the cyclic shift is calculated based on a sum of the index and a number value, the number value being equal to 6. In other aspects, a radio communication method and a base station are also disclosed.

The present invention provides a transmission device, a reception device, a transmission method, and a reception method that implement an appropriate random access procedure in accordance with a propagation delay between a terminal and a base station. A terminal (100) is provided with a wireless transmission unit (103) which transmits a random access channel signal, and a control unit (107) which sets, from among a plurality of preamble sequence candidates, a preamble sequence for use in the random access channel signal. At least one of the plurality of preamble sequence candidates is composed of two or more mutually different code sequences.

A modulation apparatus capable of performing highly efficient multiplexing of pilot signals used for equalization and estimation of phase noises for LOS-MIMO (Line Of Sight-Multiple Input Multiple Output) using a single-carrier signal is provided. The modulation apparatus (10) includes means (11) for transforming a time-domain pilot signal sequence into a first number of frequency-domain signals corresponding to a sequence length of the pilot signal sequence, means (12) for mapping the first number of frequency-domain signals at the same number of subcarrier intervals as a number of transmitting antennas of the modulation apparatus by shifting mapping positions of heads of the frequency-domain signals one after another by an amount equivalent to one subcarrier so that the frequency-domain signals do not overlap each other, and means (13) for transforming the mapped frequency-domain signals into time-domain signals.

Provided is a radio communication device which can make Acknowledgement (ACK) reception quality and Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) reception quality to be equal to each other. The device includes: a scrambling unit (214) which multiplies a response signal after modulated, by a scrambling code “1” or “e.sup.−j(π/2)” so as to rotate a constellation for each of response signals on a cyclic shift axis; a spread unit (215) which performs a primary spread of the response signal by using a Zero Auto Correlation (ZAC) sequence set by a control unit (209); and a spread unit (218) which performs a secondary spread of the response signal after subjected to the primary spread, by using a block-wise spread code sequence set by the control unit (209).

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.
