1. An integrated circuit comprising:
receiving circuitry, which, in operation, controls reception of a downlink control information on one or more consecutive control channel elements (CCEs) in a search space, and controls reception of downlink data on a downlink resource that is indicated by the downlink control information, the search space being comprised of a plurality of CCEs that includes the one or more consecutive CCEs, and the plurality of CCEs starting on a CCE that is determined from both a number of the one or more consecutive CCEs, and a total number of CCEs configured in a subframe; and
transmitting circuitry, which, in operation, controls transmission of uplink control information on an uplink resource, which is associated with a CCE index of a first CCE of the one or more consecutive CCEs.
