Patent ID: 8867465

Claim:
A terminal configured with one or more downlink component carrier(s) comprising: a control information detecting section configured to detect downlink assignment information indicating one or more resources for downlink data, each of the one or more resources being assigned to one of the one or more downlink component carrier(s); a decoding section configured to decode the downlink data, which is transmitted in the one or more resources indicated by the detected downlink assignment information; and a transmission controlling section configured to transmit one or more response signals for the decoded downlink data, wherein: each response signal denotes an outcome of decoding downlink data, or denotes a Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) representing that the outcome is not transmitted; when downlink component carriers including a first downlink component carrier and a second downlink component carrier are configured, response signals for a plurality of downlink data in the downlink component carriers are transmitted using at least one phase point and at least one resource index of at least one uplink control channel depending on an outcome of decoding each of the plurality of downlink data; and a first outcome that a first response signal for downlink data in the first downlink component carrier denotes with a first phase point, with which a second response signal for downlink data in the second downlink component carrier denotes the DTX, is the same as the first outcome, which a third response signal for downlink data in the first downlink component carrier denotes with the same first phase point when only the first downlink component carrier is configured, such that: when the first downlink component carrier and the second component carrier are configured, an acknowledgment (ACK) for downlink data in the first downlink component carrier and a DTX for downlink data in the second downlink component carrier are denoted by the first response signal and the second response signal with the first phase point; and when only the first downlink component carrier is configured, an ACK for downlink data in the first downlink component carrier is denoted by the third response signal with the same first phase point.
