Claims
- 1. A communication terminal apparatus comprising:a measurer that measures a downlink channel quality and outputs information that is generated in association with said downlink channel quality and composed of a plurality of digits including an upper digit and a lower digit; a coder that encodes the upper digit to a first code word and encodes the lower digit to a second code word having a shorter code word minimum distance than the first code word, and a transmitter that transmits the first and second code words to a base station apparatus.
- 2. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a multiplexer that places the second code word after the first code word and time-multiplexes the first and second code words, wherein said transmitter transmits the multiplexed first and second code words.
- 3. A communication terminal apparatus comprising:a measurer that measures a downlink channel quality and outputs information that is generated in association with said downlink channel quality and composed of a plurality of digits including an upper digit and a lower digit; a coder that encodes the upper digit to a first code word and encodes the lower digit to a second code word having a smaller number of bits than the first code word; and a transmitter that transmits the first and second code words to a base station apparatus.
- 4. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising a multiplexer that places the second code word after the first code word and time-multiplexes the first and second code words, wherein said transmitter transmits the multiplexed first and second code words.
