TERMINAL APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce blind times in reception process of allocation control information without causing any problem relevant to notification signal reception.SOLUTION: An information size determination section 207 of a terminal 200 determines a reference payload size of downlink control information including at least a piece of downlink allocation information on each of a first downlink unit band and a second downlink unit band. The reference payload size of the first downlink unit band is determined based on an information bit number which is obtained from the bandwidth of the first downlink unit band and an information bit number which is obtained from the bandwidth of an uplink unit band. The reference payload size of the second downlink unit band is determined based on an information bit number which is obtained from the bandwidth of the second downlink unit band.
