Resource allocation method, identification method, base station, mobile station, and program

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a mobile station, a downlink control signal,
• the downlink control signal including resource allocation type information and uplink resource allocation information,
• the resource allocation type information indicating one of:
• a first uplink resource allocation type for allocating a set of contiguously allocated resource blocks, and
• a second uplink resource allocation type for allocating a plurality of sets of resource blocks with each set including a plurality of consecutive resource blocks,
• the uplink resource allocation information indicating one of:
• first uplink resource allocation information indicating the set of contiguously allocated resource blocks if the resource allocation type information indicates the first uplink resource allocation type, and
• second uplink resource allocation information indicating the plurality of sets of resource blocks if the resource allocation type information indicates the second uplink resource allocation type;
• transmitting, by the mobile station, first uplink data using the set of contiguously allocated resource blocks if the resource allocation type information indicates the first uplink resource allocation type;
• and
• transmitting, by the mobile station, second uplink data using the plurality of sets of resource blocks if the resource allocation type information indicates the second uplink resource allocation type,
• wherein the set of contiguously allocated resource blocks includes one or more consecutive resource blocks,
• wherein an allocation unit of the set of contiguously allocated resource blocks is smaller than an allocation unit of each one of the plurality of sets of resource blocks, and
• wherein a resource block, which is not included in the plurality of sets of resource blocks, is located between each two of the plurality of sets of resource blocks.

A base station comprising:

• a transmitter configured to transmit a downlink control signal,
• the downlink control signal including resource allocation type information and uplink resource allocation information,
• the resource allocation type information indicating one of:
• a first uplink resource allocation type for allocating a set of contiguously allocated resource blocks, and
• a second uplink resource allocation type for allocating a plurality of sets of resource blocks with each set including a plurality of consecutive resource blocks,
• the uplink resource allocation information indicating one of:
• first uplink resource allocation information indicating the set of contiguously allocated resource blocks if the resource allocation type information indicates the first uplink resource allocation type, and
• second uplink resource allocation information indicating the plurality of sets of resource blocks if the resource allocation type information indicates the second uplink resource allocation type;
• and
• a receiver configured to receive first uplink data using the set of contiguously allocated resource blocks if the resource allocation type information indicates the first uplink resource allocation type,
• wherein the receiver is configured to receive second uplink data using the plurality of sets of resource blocks if the resource allocation type information indicates the second uplink resource allocation type,
• wherein the set of contiguously allocated resource blocks includes one or more consecutive resource blocks,
• wherein an allocation unit of the set of contiguously allocated resource blocks is smaller than an allocation unit of each one of the plurality of sets of resource blocks, and
• wherein a resource block, which is not included in the plurality of sets of resource blocks, is located between each two of the plurality of sets of resource blocks.

A mobile station comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive a downlink control signal,
• the downlink control signal including resource allocation type information and uplink resource allocation information,
• the resource allocation type information indicating one of:
• a first uplink resource allocation type for allocating a set of contiguously allocated resource blocks, and
• a second uplink resource allocation type for allocating a plurality of sets of resource blocks with each set including a plurality of consecutive resource blocks,
• the uplink resource allocation information indicating one of:
• first uplink resource allocation information indicating the set of contiguously allocated resource blocks if the resource allocation type information indicates the first uplink resource allocation type, and
• second uplink resource allocation information indicating the plurality of sets of resource blocks if the resource allocation type information indicates the second uplink resource allocation type;
• and
• a transmitter configured to transmit first uplink data using the set of contiguously allocated resource blocks if the resource allocation type information indicates the first uplink resource allocation type,
• wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit second uplink data using the plurality of sets of resource blocks if the resource allocation type information indicates the second uplink resource allocation type,
• wherein the set of contiguously allocated resource blocks includes one or more consecutive resource blocks,
• wherein an allocation unit of the set of contiguously allocated resource blocks is smaller than an allocation unit of each one of the plurality of sets of resource blocks, and
• wherein a resource block, which is not included in the plurality of sets of resource blocks, is located between each two of the plurality of sets of resource blocks.
