A wireless communication apparatus and an error detection result feedback method wherein unnecessary retransmissions are avoided to improve the system throughput. At a base station (200), a decoding unit (205) decodes code words, which have been mapped to a TTI bundle, for the respective TTIs in the TTI bundle. An error detecting unit (206) detects errors in the decoding results. A control information generating unit (209) sequentially transmits, in accordance with detection timings, error detection result information related to the code word transmitted in the tail TTI in the TTI bundle, as well as error detection result information related to the code word transmitted in at least one of the other TTIs. In this way, an apparatus that transmits the code words can use the result of error detection in the tail TTI as a reference used for deciding the execution of a retransmission, so that unnecessary retransmissions can be avoided.
