Base station apparatuses, terminal unit, radio communication system having those apparatuses, and program to be executed by the base stations

Abstract

The present invention is to enable reduction of constraint brought by generation of ID codes of reference signals to be used for cooperative reception and the allocation of the reference signals when radio communication is carried out between a plurality of base station apparatuses and a terminal unit. Terminal units UE201 to UE205 are terminal units existing in the cellular zone of a base station apparatus BS200 and are performing communication with base station apparatus UE200. When terminal unit UE201 is located at the edge of cell and its reception characteristic degrades, another base station apparatus, specifically, base station apparatus BS100 also performs cooperative transmission while terminal unit UE201 performs cooperative reception. In this case, in order to demodulate the signal from base station apparatus BS100, an ID code of a reference signal that is different from the reference signal the terminal unit uses to demodulate the signal from a solo base station apparatus is used as the ID code of the reference signal that is transmitted from base station apparatus BS100 and specific to the terminal unit.
