Patent ID: 8743805

Claim:
A radio terminal apparatus that can perform communication using an uplink component band and a plurality of downlink component bands associated with the uplink component band, the radio terminal apparatus comprising: a radio reception section configured to receive a first control signal transmitted using a first downlink component band and a second control signal transmitted using a second downlink component band, the first control signal including both of uplink resource allocation information and first downlink resource allocation information, and the second control signal including second downlink resource allocation information, the first and second downlink component bands being frequency bands of a communication band; and a control signal reception processing section configured to determine a basic information size for the first control signal, which is used to specify a part corresponding to Cyclic Redundancy Check bits (CRC bits) attached to each of the uplink resource allocation information and the first downlink resource allocation information included the first control signal, wherein the basic information size for the first control signal is a number of bits, and a basic information size for the second control signal, which is used to specify a part corresponding to Cyclic Redundancy Check bits (CRC bits) attached to the second downlink resource allocation information included in second control signal, wherein the basic information size for the second control signal is a number of bits, and to perform the reception processing of the first control signal and the second control signal based on the respective determined basic information sizes, wherein for the first control signal, when an uplink information size of the uplink resource allocation information and a downlink information size of the first downlink resource allocation information are different, the larger one of the uplink information size and the downlink information size is determined to be the basic information size for the first control signal, and for the second control signal, an information size of the second downlink resource allocation information is determined to be the basic information size for the second control signal.
