Claim:
1. A base station apparatus configured to communicate with a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising: control circuitry configured to determine one or several enhanced control channel elements used to receive an enhanced physical downlink control channel, the one or several enhanced control channel elements included in a resource block set corresponding to a plurality of resource block pairs, the enhanced physical downlink control channel being transmitted using either localized transmission or distributed transmission; and transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the enhanced physical downlink control channel, the enhanced physical downlink control channel being transmitted using either localized transmission or distributed transmission, wherein each of the plurality of resource block pairs includes a specific number of enhanced resource element groups, first resource elements except second resource elements carrying demodulation reference signal in each of the plurality of resource block pairs are numbered, each of the specific number of enhanced resource element groups is constituted of third resource elements with a same number in each of the plurality of resource block pairs, the third resource elements being a part of the first resource elements, each of the one or several enhanced control channel elements consists of a plurality of enhanced resource element groups, for the localized transmission, the control circuitry determines first enhanced resource element groups for each of the one or several enhanced control channel elements and the first enhanced resource element groups are in a resource block pair among the plurality of resource block pairs, for the distributed transmission, the control circuitry determines second enhanced resource element groups for each of the one or several enhanced control channel elements and the second enhanced resource element groups are in a plurality of resource block pairs among the plurality of resource block pairs, and first combination and second combination are common each other, the first combination being for the localized transmission, the second combination being for the distributed transmission, the first and the second combinations being combinations of numbers of enhanced resource element groups corresponding to each of the one or several enhanced control channel elements.
