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.

A base station apparatus, a terminal apparatus, and a communication method are provided that are capable of suppressing an increase in processing loads for identification of each terminal apparatus and signal detection for uplink data, a decrease in identification accuracy, and an increase in control information for identification of the terminal apparatus in a multiple access using grant free. A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a multi-access signature process index from the base station apparatus, and a transmitter configured to transmit a demodulation reference signal and an uplink physical channel. The multi-access signature process index is information indicating association of a mark identifying the uplink physical channel transmitted by grant free access. The transmitter transmits the uplink physical channel processed based on the mark identifying the uplink physical channel and associated with the demodulation reference signal.

RF communication systems that provide combined demodulation and despreading are provided herein. In certain embodiments, an RF communication system generates an in-phase (I) signal and a quadrature-phase (Q) signal based on processing a received spread spectrum signal carrying a sequence of data symbols. The data symbols each have a symbol period and are coded by one or more multi-bit spreading codes. The RF communication system includes a symbol correlator that delays the I signal and the Q signal by an integer number of symbol periods to thereby generate a delayed I signal and a delayed Q signal, respectively. Additionally, the symbol correlator generates a correlation signal based on correlating the delayed I signal to the I signal and correlating the delayed Q signal to the Q signal. The RF communication system processes the correlation signal to recover the sequence of data symbols.
