Abstract:
An integrated circuit includes reception circuitry and demodulation circuitry. The reception circuitry, in operation, controls receiving one or more repetitions of control information in a search space region. The search space region includes a first plurality of sub-regions of different lengths for a largest repetition number of the control information. The search space region includes a second plurality of sub-regions of different lengths for a second-largest repetition number of the control information. An interval of subframes to which the first plurality of sub-regions are mapped is greater than an interval of subframes to which the second plurality of sub-regions are mapped. The demodulation circuitry, in operation, controls performing a demodulation process of the one or more repetitions of the control information.
