Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated circuit to control a process for a terminal. The process includes: receiving downlink control information and downlink data; determining, based on the downlink control information and an offset, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource used for transmission of a response signal for the downlink data; and transmitting the response signal using the determined PUCCH resource. A first offset is used as the offset when the terminal is configured in a coverage enhancement mode, in which the response signal is allowed to be transmitted repeatedly for one of plural repetition levels in a plurality of subframes, where the first offset is configured for each of the plural repetition levels. The first offset is different from a second offset, which is used when the terminal is not configured in the coverage enhancement mode.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes reception circuitry and demodulation circuitry. The reception circuitry, in operation, controls receiving one or more repetitions of control information in a search space region. The search space region includes a first plurality of sub-regions of different lengths for a largest repetition number of the control information. The search space region includes a second plurality of sub-regions of different lengths for a second-largest repetition number of the control information. An interval of subframes to which the first plurality of sub-regions are mapped is greater than an interval of subframes to which the second plurality of sub-regions are mapped. The demodulation circuitry, in operation, controls performing a demodulation process of the one or more repetitions of the control information.
