Patent ID: 8630579

Claim:
A wireless communication apparatus for relaying communication between a base station and a mobile station that performs symbol synchronization by using a P-SCH (Primary Synchronization Channel), performs frame synchronization by using a S-SCH (Secondary Synchronization Channel), and receives and demodulates/decodes a P-BCH (Primary Broadcast Channel) at the time of cell searching, by using a centralized control resource and a distributed control resource, wherein the P-BCH, the S-SCH, and the P-SCH for the centralized control are transmitted to the centralized control resource, and the P-BCH and the S-SCH for the distributed control are transmitted to the distributed control resource, wherein, in a case where the centralized control resource and the distributed control resource are frequency-divided, the P-BCH and the S-SCH for the centralized control are transmitted to the centralized control resource, and the P-BCH and the S-SCH for the distributed control are transmitted to the distributed control resource, and wherein a scrambling code used in the S-SCH for the distributed control is calculated from a scrambling code used for the S-SCH for the centralized control and an index α that represents a distance between the resource to which the S-SCH for the distributed control is transmitted and the resource to which the S-SCH for the centralized control is transmitted.
