Communication apparatus and communication method

A base station apparatus which assigns, to a mobile station apparatus, a physical uplink shared channel by using a physical downlink control channel, the physical uplink shared channel is used for transmitting uplink data, the base station apparatus comprising:

• a transmitting unit which is configured to transmit on the physical downlink control channel, to the mobile station apparatus, an indication instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit reception quality information without the uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel assigned by using the physical downlink control channel, wherein
• the indication is specified based on values to which a plurality of fields of information transmitted on the physical downlink control channel are set,
• one of the plurality of fields is a field for instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit the reception quality information and another is a field for a modulation and coding scheme, and
• for instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit the reception quality information without the uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel, the field for instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit the reception quality information is set to a first single predetermined value and the field for the modulation and coding scheme is set to a second single predetermined value.

A mobile station apparatus which is configured to transmit, to a base station apparatus, uplink data on a physical uplink shared channel, the physical uplink shared channel is assigned by using a physical downlink control channel, the mobile station apparatus comprising:

• a receiving unit which is configured to receive on the physical downlink control channel, from the base station apparatus, an indication instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit reception quality information without the uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel;
• and
• a transmitting unit which is configured to transmit, to the base station apparatus, the reception quality information without the uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel assigned by using the physical downlink control channel based on the indication being received on the physical downlink control channel, wherein
• the indication is specified based on values to which a plurality of fields of information transmitted on the physical downlink control channel are set,
• one of the plurality of fields is a field for instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit the reception quality information and another is a field for a modulation and coding scheme, and
• for instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit the reception quality information without the uplink on the physical uplink shared channel, the field for instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit the reception quality information is set to a first single predetermined value and the field for the modulation and coding scheme is set to a second single predetermined value.

A communication method of a base station apparatus which assigns, to a mobile station apparatus, a physical uplink shared channel by using a physical downlink control channel, the physical uplink shared channel is used for transmitting uplink data, the communication method comprising:
