Claim:
1. A user terminal comprising: a receiver that receives a downlink shared channel; a processor that acquires a channel quality indicator indicating a modulation scheme and a coding rate that are applicable to the downlink shared channel, from a first table in which channel quality indicators are associated with modulation schemes including 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) and coding rates; and a transmitter that transmits the channel quality indicator, wherein a second table is provided in which channel quality indicators are associated with modulation schemes of lower order than the 256 QAM and coding rates, the first table is provided by puncturing a combination of a modulation scheme and a coding rate in the second table so that the first table and the second table are equal in a number of bits for a channel quality indicator.
