Disclosed is a base station apparatus in which a configuration section (102) configures, within a data assignable region for a terminal apparatus (200), a first search space and a second search space each being a candidate to which control information is assigned, each of the first search space and the second search space including a plurality of control channel elements, and a signal assignment section (105) assigns control information to each of the first search space and the second search space. In addition, the configuration section (102) allocates numbers to a plurality of first control channel elements included in the first search space in an ascending order, and allocates numbers larger than or identical with the numbers allocated to the first control channel elements to a plurality of second control channel elements included in the second search space. |

1. A communication apparatus comprising:
a receiver which, in operation, receives physical resource block (PRB) pair information related to PRB pairs; and circuitry which, in operation, specifies, based on the PRB pair information, at least one of (i) a first search space for localized transmission, which is comprised of a plurality of first control channel elements (CCEs), each first CCE consisting of four enhanced resource element groups (EREGs) in one PRB pair, and (ii) a second search space for distributed transmission, which is comprised of a plurality of second CCEs, each second CCE consisting of four EREGs distributed among a plurality of PRB pairs, wherein each of the one or the plurality of PRB pairs is divided into sixteen EREGs, wherein: the receiver, in operation, further receives assignment information mapped to at least one of the first search space and the second search space; and four EREGs that are provided in one PRB pair, which form a portion of EREGs that correspond to a subset of the plurality of second CCEs, are identical to four EREGs that correspond to one first CCE of a subset of the plurality of first CCEs, and four EREGs that are provided in another PRB pair, which form another portion of the EREGs that correspond to said subset of the plurality of second CCEs, are identical to four EREGs that correspond to another first CCE of said subset of the plurality of first CCEs. |
