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 radio communication device capable of randomizing both inter-cell interference and intra-cell interference. In this device, a spreading section primarily spreads a response signal in a ZAC sequence set by a control unit. A spreading section secondarily spreads the primarily spread response signal in a block-wise spreading code sequence set by the control unit. The control unit controls the cyclic shift amount of the ZAC sequence used for the primary spreading in the spreading section and the block-wise spreading code sequence used for the secondary spreading in the spreading section according to a set hopping pattern. The hopping pattern set by the control unit is made up of two hierarchies. An LB-based hopping pattern different for each cell is defined in the first hierarchy in order to randomize the inter-cell interference. A hopping pattern different for each mobile station is defined in the second hierarchy to randomize the intra-cell interference.

In other aspects, a radio control method for a terminal and a base station are also disclosed.
