  • Publication number: 20170244435
    Abstract: An object is to mitigate interference by using effective knowledge or information as to an interference signal while reducing an increase in the amount of calculation. A terminal device includes a reception unit that receives downlink control information from a base station apparatus. In a case of a prescribed transmission mode, a downlink shared channel destined for the terminal apparatus is demodulated on the basis of a power offset between transmit power of the terminal apparatus and transmit power of another terminal apparatus in the downlink shared channel included in the downlink control information. Whether or not to perform interference cancellation is determined according to a value of the power offset.
