1. An integrated circuit comprising:
generation circuitry, which, in operation, controls generating a first downlink control information (DCI), the first DCI including control information indicating whether a communication apparatus skips monitoring a second DCI in respective ones of a plurality of frequency ranges; and
transmission circuitry, which, in operation, controls transmitting, to the communication apparatus, the first DCI in a first search space set and transmitting, to the communication apparatus, the second DCI in one or more second search space sets of one or more frequency ranges of the plurality of frequency ranges,
wherein the one or more frequency ranges to be not skipped are determined based on the control information.
