Abstract: It is an object to provide a wireless communication base station device that can prevent the decline of a system throughput due to the degradation of a utilization efficiency of a communication resource of a channel for carrying out a frequency diversity transmission when a frequency scheduling transmission and a frequency diversity transmission are concurrently carried out in multiple carrier communication. In the wireless communication base station device, a modulation unit (12) carries out modulation processing for Dch data after coding to generate a Dch data symbol. A modulation unit (22) carries out modulation processing for Lch data after coding to generate an Lch data symbol. An allocation unit (103) allocates the Dch data symbol and Lch data symbol to each sub-carrier composing an OFDM symbol and outputs the allocated sub-carrier to a multiplex unit (104). In this case, the allocation unit (103) allocates the Dch data symbol to a plurality of resource blocks where one Dch is arranged at an interval equal to integral multiples of the number of resource blocks composing a resource block group.

Abstract: Mechanism to receive control signals transmitted from a base station (210, 510, 910) to the user equipment (220, 520, 920) in a manner that minimizes power consumption on the user equipment (220, 520, 920) while still maintaining some acceptable level of performance is described. The user equipment (220, 520, 920) periodically measures the signal quality of component carriers used by the base station (210, 510, 910) and requests control signaling (anchor) carrier reselection. Either a single component carrier can be chosen if the single carrier has sufficient quality or multiple component carriers can be selected when the quality of the single quality is low. The anchor carrier reselection may also be triggered to manage the system as a whole. For fast moving user equipments (220, 520, 920), anchor carrier hopping pattern can be provided to increase robustness and reduce reselection signaling overhead.
