    Abstract: There is provided a communication apparatus and a terminal apparatus that can improve low latency operation performance. The communication apparatus includes a control unit that configures a configuration value related to a DRX operation in a terminal apparatus depending on a state of the terminal apparatus that can perform wireless communication by both a first communication scheme and a second communication scheme; and a transmission unit that transmits the configuration value configured by the control unit to a base station apparatus or the terminal apparatus. In a case that the terminal apparatus is in a first state, the control unit configures the configuration value to a first value for the first communication scheme and the second communication scheme in such a manner that the first communication scheme and the second communication scheme come into an active state at temporally different timings, with regard to the DRX operation.
