Abstract: A radio terminal (2) receives a first information element indicating a list of search spaces configured by a base station (1) for the radio terminal (2) via a dedicated signaling message destined for the radio terminal (2). The first information element contains a second information element indicating a configuration of each search space required by the radio terminal (2) to monitor downlink control information in each search space included in the list. The first information element further contains a third information element indicating, on a per-search space basis, whether each search space is initially deactivated. This contributes to, for example, promptly deactivating a radio resource range used for transmission of downlink control information or promptly deactivating a reception operation of a radio terminal therein.

Abstract: A base station (1) transmits, to a radio terminal (2), downlink control information including a first field for indicating frequency domain resources and a second field for indicating time domain resources allocated to the radio terminal (2).

This can, for example, contribute to improving flexibility in time domain resource assignment without increasing the size of the downlink control information (e.g., scheduling DCI) that indicates radio resources allocated to the radio terminal.
