Patent ID: 8717995

Claim:
A communication apparatus comprising: a number-of-units determination unit which calculates a total amount of control information transmitted on a plurality of physical control channels, calculates a ratio between the calculated total amount of the control information and a total number of resource units included in a wireless resource designated for mapping of the plurality of physical control channels, and determines a number of resource units to be allocated to each of the plurality of physical control channels based on the calculated ratio and an amount of data of control information transmitted on each of the plurality of physical control channels; an encoding unit which encodes the control information respectively transmitted on each of the plurality of physical control channels into data which can be transmitted with the number of resource units determined by said number-of-units determination unit; a modulation unit which modulates said encoded control information; a transmission unit which transmits said modulated encoded control information; and an interconnection unit which interconnects continuously a series of said control information encoded by said encoding unit and supplies them to said modulation unit, wherein said modulation unit modulates the data interconnected by said interconnection unit and wherein said control information includes an identifying information of a destination communication apparatus to which said control information is transmitted.
