Patent ID: 8737341

Claim:
A terminal comprising: a control channel demodulating part configured to have a control channel format notified from a base station which transmits a control channel with the use of the control channel format which is selected from among a plurality of control channel formats, each including modulation scheme information, having different number of types of control parameters according to whether Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission is applied or not, and demodulate the control channel received from the base station; and a data channel demodulating part configured to demodulate a data channel received from the base station with the use of a result of the demodulation of the control channel carried out by the control channel demodulating part, wherein a number of bits indicating a modulation scheme included in a control channel format to be selected when the MIMO transmission is applied is greater than that included in a control channel format to be selected when the MIMO transmission is not applied.
