Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 3:
4. A communication method by a terminal, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station apparatus, a message requesting a report of capability of the terminal;
transmitting, to the base station apparatus, a message reporting the capability of the terminal; and
receiving a first signal transmitted from the base station apparatus and a second signal transmitted from another base station apparatus, within a maximum receive timing difference applied to a band combination included in the message reporting the capability of the terminal,
wherein the band combination includes a combination of a band of the first signal and a band of the second signal, and a radio access technology for the first signal differs from a radio access technology for the second signal, and
wherein a receive timing difference that is to be applied to the same bands is applied to the combination of the band of the first signal and the band of the second signal, as the maximum receive timing difference.
