Radio reception apparatus, radio transmission apparatus, and radio communication method
First Claim
1. An integrated circuit to control a process, the process comprising:
- receiving a first reference signal mapped in symbols of both a former half and a latter half of a subframe according to a time direction;
receiving a second reference signal mapped to only last two symbols in the latter half of the subframe;
receiving data that is mapped in a given symbol of the subframe in a frequency direction and then mapped in a symbol, which is next to the given symbol in the time direction, of the subframe in the frequency direction, the data being comprised of systematic bits first followed by parity bits; and
calculating channel quality using at least the received second reference signal, and demodulates the received data,wherein the first reference signal is a Long Term Evolution (“
LTE”
) reference signal in a LTE communication system, and the second reference signal is a LTE-Advanced reference signal in a LTE-Advanced communication system.

Abstract
Where first and second reference signals for a first and second communication system, respectively, are transmitted, resources that affect a reception apparatus compatible only with the first communication system can be minimized, and the throughput can be prevented from being deteriorated. As resources for a reference signal CSI-RS for LTE-A, last half symbols in a time direction of a resource unit RB/Sub-frame defined in a frequency-time domain are used, and the CSI-RS is allocated in a position up to the last two symbols or in the last symbol, or the like, of a particular RB/Sub-frame and transmitted when a reference signal 4RS for LTE is transmitted to a reception apparatus in addition to transmitting CSI-RS for LTE-A. The reception apparatus receives CSI-RS allocated in the last half symbol of RB/Sub-frame based on CSI-RS allocation information, measures channel quality by using this CSI-RS, and transmits and reports feedback information.
