Abstract:
1. A method of controlling resource allocation in a resource block including control resources used for a plurality of types of control signals and reference resources used for reference signals, to radio communications between a plurality of radio stations, comprising: measuring propagation channel quality between a first radio station and a second radio station at one or both of the first and second radio stations; determining resource apportionment among the plurality of types of control signals and reference signals based on the propagation channel quality; and notifying the other one of the first and second radio stations of the resource apportionment; determining resource apportionment among the plurality of types of control signals and reference signals by determining a ratio between the plurality of types of control signals and reference signals, wherein the plurality of types of control signals includes channel quality information, which indicates the propagation channel quality; and increasing the ratio of resource allocated to the channel quality information within the control resources as the propagation channel quality becomes better.
