Wireless communication terminal and method

A wireless communication terminal comprising:

• a measuring unit configured to measure each of channel qualities of resource blocks that a base station can allocate;
• an acquiring unit configured to acquire a grouping rule;
• a generating unit configured to divide the resource blocks into a plurality of groups in accordance with the grouping rule, to generate quality data representing the channel qualities of a prescribed number of resource blocks included in each of the groups, which have relatively high channel quality, and to generate position data representing the positions which the resource blocks which have relatively high channel quality take in each of the groups;
• an encoding unit configured to encode the quality data and the position data to obtain encoded data;
• a modulation unit configured to modulate the encoded data to obtain a modulated signal;
• and
• a transmitting unit configured to transmit the modulated signal to the base station.

A wireless communication method used in a wireless communication terminal including a measuring unit, a generating unit, an encoding unit, a modulation unit, and a transmitting unit, the wireless communication method comprising:

• measuring, with the measuring unit, each of channel qualities of resource blocks that a base station can allocate;
• dividing, with the generating unit, the resource blocks into a plurality of groups;
• generating, with the generating unit, quality data representing the channel qualities of a prescribed number of resource blocks included in each of the groups, which have relatively high channel quality;
• generating, with the generating unit, position data representing the positions which the resource blocks which have relatively high channel quality take in each of the groups;
• encoding, with the encoding unit, the quality data and the position data to obtain encoded data;
• modulating, with the modulation unit, the encoded data to obtain a modulated signal;
• and
• transmitting, with the transmitting unit, the modulated signal to the base station.
