  • Patent number: 11973603
    Abstract: Provided is a base station that performs feedback with regard to data transmission. The base station includes a downlink feedback information (DFI) generation unit and a transmitter. On the basis of a resource allocation configuration that was configured by a terminal, the DFI generation unit determines a transmission method for feedback information that includes a response signal regarding uplink data. The transmitter transmits the feedback information on the basis of the transmission method.
