Abstract:
Provided is a terminal device that is capable of improving the characteristics of a response signal having poor transmission characteristics when ARQ is utilized in communication using an uplink unit band and a plurality of downlink unit bands associated with the uplink unit band. At the time of channel selection, a control unit selects a resource used in sending a response signal from among specific PUCCH resources notified in advance from a base station and PUCCH resources mapped to a CCE, and controls the transmission of the response signal. A response signal generating unit supports implicit signaling with respect to any given response signal, and at the same time as supporting LTE fallback from  2 CC, uses a mapping method that, between bits, smooths the number of PUCCH resources that can determine ACK/NACK simply by determining the PUCCH resource regarding which the response signal had notified.

Claim (Index 8):
A communication method comprising:\n transmitting downlink data on a first component carrier and a second component carrier; receiving a block of ACK/NACK bits that indicates error detection results of the downlink data on the first component carrier and the second component carrier, wherein the block of ACK/NACK bits is mapped, according to a mapping table, to a phase point among phase points on an uplink control channel resource (PUCCH resource) selected from a plurality of PUCCH resources, wherein the mapping rule defines: a first number of PUCCH resource(s) respectively associated with set(s) of phase points, wherein all phase points in the set are mapped with acknowledgment (ACK) or all phase points in the set are mapped with negative acknowledgement (NACK)/discontinuous transmission (DTX) in one of the error detection results; a second number of PUCCH resource(s) respectively associated with set(s) of phase points, wherein all phase points in the set are mapped with ACK or all phase points in the set are mapped with NACK/DTX in another one of the error detection results; and a maximum difference between the first number of PUCCH resources and the second number of PUCCH resource(s) is one or zero; and retransmitting the downlink data when retransmission is indicated by the received block of ACK/NACK bits.
