1. A reception apparatus comprising:
reception circuitry which, in operation, receives a signal including a legacy header field, an enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) header field, and a data field; and
decoding circuitry which, in operation, decodes data included in the data field of the received signal, wherein:
the legacy header field includes a Length field comprising multiple bits,
the reception apparatus is an EDMG terminal, and a subset of the multiple bits of the Length field included in the legacy header field is for indicating bandwidth over which the signal is transmitted, and
remaining bits of the Length field included in the legacy header field are for indicating data length information of the received signal.
