Abstract

In a reception apparatus that receives random access signals transmitted from a transmission apparatus by being allocated to preset resources, the reception apparatus includes a resource allocation configuration candidate storage section that stores in advance a plurality of different resource allocation configurations which are obtained by combining the resources and have different sizes of the combined resources, a resource allocation configuration decision section that decides a resource allocation configuration from resource allocation configurations stored in the resource allocation configuration candidate storage section based on a value indicating a receiving frequency of the random access signal, and a resource allocation configuration report section that reports information of the resource allocation configuration decided by the resource allocation configuration decision section.

Claims
