Patent ID: 8155227

Claim:
A base station apparatus comprising: a transmitting unit configured to transmit, to a mobile station, data using groups, into which subcarriers that are consecutive in a frequency domain are divided in a predetermined unit of a time domain, and a receiving unit configured to receive feedback information generated based on a channel quality indicator (CQI) value, which is calculated in the mobile station, and a differential value for each of the groups, which is calculated in the mobile station, the CQI value representing channel quality according to a first step size, by which a range of the COI value is divided, the differential value being a difference of the calculated CQI value with respect to a single CQI value, which represents channel quality for all of the groups, and being transformed according to a second step size, which includes a step size greater than the first step size and by which a range of the difference is divided, wherein: the feedback information forms a data sequence, in which the single CQI value is positioned at the beginning and the differential values for the groups are positioned after the single CQI value in order of increasing frequency or decreasing frequency.
