Patent ID: 8817819

Claim:
A base station apparatus comprising: an allocation information generating section configured to generate uplink resource allocation information relating to a resource allocation of an uplink component carrier and to generate downlink resource allocation information relating to a resource allocation of a respective one of a plurality of downlink component carriers including a first downlink component carrier and a second downlink component carrier; a padding section configured to append zeros, when a number of uplink information bits necessary to transmit the uplink resource allocation information is different from a number of downlink information bits necessary to transmit first downlink resource allocation information on the first downlink component carrier, to a smaller one of the uplink resource allocation information and the first downlink resource allocation information until a payload size of the smaller one equals a payload size of the other; a CRC bit adding section configured to add Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) bits to the uplink resource allocation information and the first downlink resource allocation information output from the padding section, wherein the payload size of the other is used by a terminal apparatus, which receives the uplink resource allocation information and the first downlink resource allocation information to which the CRC bits are added, to determine the added CRC bits; and a transmitting section configured to transmit the uplink resource allocation information and the first downlink resource allocation information on the first downlink component carrier and to transmit second downlink resource allocation information on the second downlink component carrier.
