Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An integrated circuit, comprising:
reception circuitry, which, in operation, controls receiving discovery signals in a first portion of resources assigned to Channel State Information Reference Signals (CSI-RSs) in a subframe, the discovery signals being transmitted from one or more cells for cell detection, the first portion of the resources assigned to the CSI-RSs in the subframe being determined based on a cell identification number of the one or more cells; and
transmission circuitry, which, in operation, controls transmitting a measurement report indicating a measurement result of reception quality measured using the discovery signals,
wherein the first portion of the resources assigned to the CSI-RSs in the subframe are non-transmission resources for the CSI-RSs, and a second portion of the resources assigned to the CSI-RSs in the subframe are transmission resources for the CSI-RSs.
