BASE STATION DEVICE, MOBILE STATION DEVICE, COMMUNICATION METHOD, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention enables efficient transmission/reception of a signal including control information between a base station apparatus and a mobile station apparatus. To realize this, there are provided a receiver configured to receive an enhanced physical downlink control channel from the base station apparatus; a setting unit configured to be able to set, using at least a format of downlink control information included in the received enhanced physical downlink control channel, one of a plurality of possible sets of M, M being the number of first elements that constitute the enhanced physical downlink control channel; and a monitoring unit configured to monitor a search region in which the enhanced physical downlink control channel obtained on the basis of the set possible set of M is possibly mapped.
