Therefore, as pointed out in Patent Documents 1 and 2, if DRC signal transmissions of multiple communication terminal devices overlap at a certain timing, uplink interference may increase and communication quality may deteriorate.
- the base station apparatus determines the packet transmission communication terminal apparatus from the DRC signals transmitted from the respective communication terminal apparatuses, and sends the next packet only to the determined communication terminal apparatus. Because it transmits, the majority of other DRC signals that do not allocate packets to the base station are unnecessary at that time.
- Patent Document 1 proposes a method in which each communication terminal apparatus transmits a DRC signal only when base station apparatus power S scheduling is performed. Therefore, the DRC signal unnecessary for the base station device is transmitted.
- the communication terminal device C cannot receive the packet allocation at the packet allocation timings # 1 to # 4, but this happens because the reception quality of the downlink is poor at this point. Because. However, conventionally, each communication terminal device reports the DRC value regardless of the possibility of packet assignment, so communication terminal device C has a low possibility of packet assignment, and packet assignment timings # 1 to # 4 Keep sending unnecessary DRC signals Will be.

- the packet allocation timing # 4 is higher than that of the other communication terminal devices (users A and B), so that packet allocation can be received.
- the DRC signal transmission at packet allocation timings # 1 to # 3 is useless transmission for user C.
- user C wants to send a DRC signal only at this packet allocation timing # 4.
- each communication terminal apparatus needs to transmit a DRC signal in each carrier. Since the device needs to perform packet allocation processing in each carrier, the communication terminal devices (users A, B, and C) in the cell increase the processing amount and power consumption of DRC signal generation, and In the station equipment, the scheduling load increases by the number of carriers. This can be a major challenge when introducing multi-carrier systems.

- the downlink packet transmission process performed in this way will be described.
- FIG. 11 the same or similar processing steps as those shown in FIG. 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals.
- the description will focus on the parts related to the first embodiment.
- a DRC signal transmission availability determination process (ST401) is inserted between the requested data rate determination process (ST1803) and the DRC signal generation process (ST1804) shown in FIG.
- DRC value ⁇ DRC threshold value ST401: No
- the process returns to pilot signal reception processing (ST1801). In other words, it is determined that there is no possibility of receiving packet allocation, and transmission of a DRC signal having a predetermined DRC value corresponding to the received quality is stopped.
- a DRC threshold value calculation process (ST402, ST403) is inserted between the packet allocation process (ST1808) and the packet generation process (ST1809) shown in FIG. Instead of transmission processing (ST1810), transmission processing (ST404) is performed.
- the allocation result in the packet allocation process (ST 1808) is stored in a buffer (ST402), and the stored past allocation history power DRC threshold is stored. Calculate (ST403). As a result, each communication terminal apparatus in the cell transmits a DRC threshold value in addition to the packet (ST404).
- FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a packet allocation result when Embodiment 1 of the present invention is applied to the MaxCIR method for determining the priority of the communication terminal apparatus based on the DRC value.
- FIG. 13 shows the implementation of the present invention in the proportional fairness method for determining the priority of the communication terminal device based on the DRC value and the average data rate. It is a figure which shows an example of the packet allocation result at the time of applying 1.
- “DRC threshold” is added to the items shown in FIG. 5 and FIG.
- “DRC threshold” indicates an average value of all received DRC values when the past several times are set to once (that is, the previous time). That is, the “DRC threshold” shown in FIG. 12 is calculated as an average value of all DRC values received at that time at each packet allocation timing.
- the received DRC value is “10”, “8”, “3”, so the average DRC value is “7”.
- the base station apparatus reports this average DRC value “7” to all communication terminal apparatuses as a DRC value at the next packet allocation timing # 2.
- Each user transmits a DR C signal only when the DRC value to be transmitted is equal to or greater than the DRC threshold value "7". Therefore, at allocation timing # 2, communication terminal apparatus A and communication terminal apparatus B Because the DRC value is greater than or equal to the DRC threshold, the communication terminal device C that transmits the DRC signal does not transmit the DRC signal because the DRC value is less than the DRC threshold. Thereafter, the communication terminal apparatus C does not transmit a DRC signal until the reception quality is improved and the possibility that a packet is allocated becomes high. However, the packet allocation result is the same as that shown in Fig. 5.
- DRC threshold indicates the priority DRCZR of the user who performed packet allocation.
- the value is obtained by subtracting the value “3” from (t).
- communication terminal apparatuses A, B, and C transmit DRC signals as usual. Since each priority D RC / R (t) is “10” “8” “3”, the assigned DRC value is “10”, and the DRC threshold value is “7”.
- the base station apparatus reports the value “7” to each communication terminal apparatus as the DRC threshold value at the next packet allocation timing # 2.
- the value “4” obtained by subtracting the value “3” from this is the DRC threshold value.
- the base station apparatus reports the value “4” to each communication terminal apparatus as a value when performing DRC at the next packet allocation timing # 4.
- Communication terminal device C does not transmit a DRC signal at packet allocation timings # 2 and # 3, but the priority gradually increases, and at packet allocation timing # 4, DRC threshold "4" As described above, a DRC signal is transmitted. Thus, even when the proportional fairness method is used, the packet allocation result is the same as that shown in FIG.
- the base station apparatus performs DRC and informs each communication terminal apparatus of the value so that the communication terminal apparatus can determine the packet allocation possibility. Therefore, each communication terminal device has a good reception quality and a high possibility of packet allocation according to uniform judgment criteria, and only the communication terminal device transmits a DRC signal, so that the communication quality is poor and the packet allocation possibility is low.
- the terminal device can perform control not to transmit a DRC signal. Therefore, a communication terminal apparatus having a low packet allocation possibility does not need to perform a wasteful process for generating a DRC signal and does not waste a transmission power.
- the uplink interference component is reduced, the communication quality can be improved.
