1. A communication apparatus, comprising:
a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits downlink assignment information indicating a resource in a primary cell, first downlink data on the resource in the primary cell, and second downlink data in a secondary cell; and
a receiver, which, in operation, receives a response signal for the first downlink data and the second downlink data, wherein
in response to transmitting, via the transmitter, the downlink assignment information in a first control channel on a Control Channel Element (CCE) of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) region, the receiver, in operation, receives the response signal on one of a first set of uplink resources including a first resource, the first resource determined by a first method, wherein the first method determines the first resource based on an index of the CCE of the PDCCH region on which the downlink assignment information is transmitted; and
in response to transmitting, via the transmitter, the downlink assignment information in a second control channel different from the first control channel, the receiver, in operation, receives the response signal on one of a second set of uplink resources including a second resource, the second resource determined by a second method different from the first method.
