Abstract

A radio transmitter and a radio receiver which reduce the number of blind determinations of control signals while maintaining resource utilization efficiency. A radio transmitter (100) includes a hash value calculating section (131) for calculating a hash value from a bit sequence indicating the device ID of each device or a transmission destination, and arranges a plurality of control channel signals in the order in which the calculated hash value of the each device increases or decreases monotonously in a frequency region which is the mapping resource range of the control channel signals. A radio receiver (200) acquires the order in which the control channel signals arranged according to the hash value are arranged. Even when the terminal ID included in the control channel signal decoded first is not the terminal ID of the radio receiver (200), the radio receiver (200) predicts the range in which the control channel signal including the terminal ID of the radio receiver (200) exists in the order by comparing the hash values obtained from both the terminal IDs with each other.

Claims

1. A radio transmitting apparatus that maps a plurality of control channel signals for different transmission target apparatuses, to a frequency domain assigned to a control channel, and transmits the control channel signals, comprising:

a calculation section that calculates a hash value from a bit sequence representing an apparatus ID of each transmission target apparatus; and

a mapping section that arranges the plurality of control channel signals in the frequency domain in a sequence in which the calculated hash value of the each transmission target apparatus monotonously increases or decreases.

2. The radio transmitting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the calculation section calculates a Hamming weight of the bit sequence as the hash value.

3. The radio transmitting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the calculation section calculates a Hamming distance of the bit sequence as the hash value.

4. The radio transmitting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the calculation section calculates a decimal converted value of the bit sequence as the hash value.

5. A radio receiving apparatus that receives a plurality of control channel signals transmitted from the radio transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 and searches for a control channel signal directed to the radio receiving apparatus from among the plurality of received control channel signals, comprising:

a storage section that stores the plurality of received control channel signals;

a decoding section that decodes the control channel signals outputted from the storage section;

an ID comparing section that compares the apparatus ID included in the decoded control channel signal with an ID of the receiving apparatus;

a calculation section that calculates, when the apparatus ID and the ID of the receiving apparatus are different, hash values from the apparatus ID and the ID of the receiving apparatus respectively; and

a control section that compares the hash values calculated in the calculation section and outputs a sequence of control channel signals according to the comparison results to the storage section.

6. The radio receiving apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the control section selects one of a control channel signal group whose sequential order is close to a control channel signal in which the apparatus ID is included, a control channel signal group whose sequential order is before that of the control channel signal group and a control channel signal group whose sequential order is after that of the control channel signal group based on the comparison result and outputs only control channel signals included in the selected signal group to the storage section.
