Abstract
In a base station, a controller, when communicating with a terminal using a time unit including a downlink time resource for a downlink control signal, a downlink time resource assigned for downlink data by the downlink control signal, and a uplink time resource for a response signal for the downlink data, sets the amount of the uplink time resource used by the terminal for transmission of the response signal to be larger as the time unit is longer.

1-13. (canceled)
A base station comprising:
- a controller, which, in operation, when communicating with a terminal using a time unit including a downlink time resource for a downlink control signal, a downlink time resource assigned for downlink data by the downlink control signal, and an uplink time resource for a response signal for the downlink data, sets the amount of the uplink time resource used by the terminal for transmission of the response signal to be larger as the time unit is longer;
- and
- a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits time unit information including the determined amount of the uplink time resource to the terminal.
A terminal comprising:
- a receiver, which, in operation, when communicating with a base station using a time unit including a downlink time resource for a downlink control signal, a downlink time resource assigned for downlink data by the downlink control signal, and an uplink time resource for a response signal for the downlink data, receives time unit information related to the amount of the uplink time resource used for transmission of the response signal;
- and
- a signal assignment unit configured to assign the response signal to the uplink time resource indicated by the time unit information,
- wherein the amount of the uplink time resource is set to be larger as the time unit is longer.
A communication method comprising:
- setting, when communicating with a terminal using a time unit including a downlink time resource for a downlink control signal, a downlink time resource assigned for downlink data by the downlink control signal, and an uplink time resource for a response signal for the downlink data, the amount of the uplink time resource used by the terminal for transmission of the response signal to be larger as the time unit is longer;
- and
- transmitting time unit information related to the determined amount of the uplink time resource to the terminal.
A communication method comprising:
- receiving, when communicating with a base station using a time unit including a downlink time resource for a downlink control signal, a downlink time resource assigned for downlink data by the downlink control signal, and an uplink time resource for a response signal for the downlink data, time unit information related to the amount of the uplink time resource used for transmission of the response signal;
- and
- assigning the response signal to the uplink time resource indicated by the time unit information,
- wherein the amount of the uplink time resource is set to be larger as the time unit is longer.
