A system and method for identifying at least one aggressor cell are described. The method comprises transmitting at least one subframe from at least one base station of a first set of base stations to a second set of base stations, wherein the at least one subframe further comprises of at least one downlink subframe, at least uplink subframe and at least one special subframe. The second set of base stations decodes the at least one received subframe, and maps each of the at least one received downlink subframe, at least one received uplink subframe and at least one received special subframe of the at least one received subframe to at least one expected subframe. Lastly, at least one aggressor cell is determined based on a mismatch of the at least one received subframe and the at least one expected subframe.

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.

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.

In a radio communication system using an Orthogonal Cover Code (OCC) for a DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS), abase station apparatus correctly receives a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH). If a first mode is set in which a DMRS of a PUSCH is multiplied by an OCC determined in advance or if a temporary Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) was used for a transmission of Downlink Control Information (DCI), the DMRS of the PUSCH is multiplied by the OCC determined in advance, and if a second mode is set in which the DMRS of the PUSCH is multiplied by an OCC determined based on cyclic shift information in the DCI and if an Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) other than the temporary C-RNTI was used for a transmission of the DCI, the DMRS of the PUSCH is multiplied by the OCC determined based on the cyclic shift information in the DCI.
