Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil terminal, un appareil de station de base et un procédé de commande d'émission de signal au moyen desquels, dans un système de communication auquel on applique une agrégation de porteuses en utilisant une pluralité de bandes élémentaires aval lorsqu'une SR (service request, demande de service), qui demande une allocation de ressources utilisée pour l'émission de données de canal amont, et lorsque des signaux de réponse en vrac apparaissent dans la même sous-trame, les qualités d'émission des signaux de réponse en vrac peuvent être garanties. Dans un terminal (200), une unité de commande (208) place un signal de référence sur une ressource de signal de référence en se fondant sur l'état d'apparition de signaux d'accusé de réception/non accusé de réception (ACK/NACK) en vrac, et sur la SR, qui demande une allocation de ressources utilisée pour l'émission de données de canal amont, dans la même sous-trame (unité de temps d'émission). Plus précisément, lorsque seuls les signaux ACK/NACK en vrac apparaissent dans la même sous-trame, l'unité de commande (208) place des signaux de référence destinés aux signaux ACK/NACK en vrac sur une première ressource de signal de référence. Lorsque la SR et les signaux ACK/NACK en vrac apparaissent dans la même sous-trame, l'unité de commande (208) place les signaux de référence destinés aux signaux ACK/NACK en vrac sur une seconde ressource de signal de référence différente de la première ressource de signal de référence.
