Abstract
A base station includes: an allocating circuit that allocates, to a resource set which is monitored by a terminal belonging to a group, a first control signal which contains information indicating the configuration of a slot and a second control signal which does not contain the information indicating the configuration of a slot; and a transmitter that transmits the first control signal and the second control signal to a terminal. The number of symbols to which the first control signal is allocated is made equal to the smallest number of symbols to which the second control signal is allocated.
