Abstract

A disclosed user apparatus includes a random access channel generating unit configured to generate a random access channel; a control channel generating unit configured to generate a control channel in accordance with scheduling information received from a base station; and an uplink transmission signal generating unit configure to generate an uplink transmission signal including the random access channel or the control channel. Further, the purpose ID indicating at least whether there is a user ID uniquely allocated by the base station is included in the random access channel or the control channel.

Claims

1-6. -6. (canceled)

7. A base station comprising:

a purpose ID extracting unit configured to extract a purpose ID from a random access channel or a control channel received from a user apparatus, the purpose ID indicating at least whether the user apparatus has a user ID uniquely allocated in a cell;

a scheduler configured to manage resource allocation with respect to the user apparatus in accordance with content indicated by the purpose ID; and

a schedule information announcing unit configured to announce schedule information to the user apparatus.

8. The base station according to claim 7, wherein

the purpose ID indicates not only whether there is a user ID uniquely allocated but also that there are data to be transmitted later and that there is the announcement to be transmitted later, the announcement indicating that handover is completed.

9. The base station according to claim 7, wherein

signatures selected by the user apparatus are classified in advance in accordance with content indicated by the purpose ID.

10. The base station according to claim 9, wherein

the signatures selected by the user apparatus are also classified in advance in accordance with levels of downlink channel status.

11. A method comprising:

a step of transmitting a random access channel from a user apparatus to a base station, the random access channel including a purpose ID indicating at least whether there is a user ID uniquely allocated by the base station;

a step of allocating a radio resource for an uplink control channel to the user apparatus in accordance with at least content indicated by the purpose ID; and

a step of transmitting a control channel from the user apparatus to the base station by using the allocated radio resource.
