A base station apparatus (110) includes an obtaining unit (111), a configuring unit (112), and a communications unit (113). The obtaining unit (111) obtains distance information that indicates the distance (d) to another base station apparatus (120). The configuring unit (112) configures based on the distance (d) indicated by the distance information obtained by the obtaining unit (111), an upper limit count for the control channels to be transmitted simultaneously to terminal devices (101, 102) connected to the base station apparatus (110). The communications unit (113) transmits the control channels to the terminal devices (101, 102), based on the upper limit count configured by the configuring unit (112).
