1. An integrated circuit for controlling operation of a device, the integrated circuit comprising,
circuitry, which, in operation:
allocates resource blocks, each of which being formed of consecutive subcarriers in a frequency domain, to a terminal according to one of a plurality of resource allocations including:
a resource allocation allocating Distributed Virtual Resource Blocks (DVRBs), where a pair of DVRBs assigned with a single resource block number are mapped to Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) with a variable gap in the frequency domain, the variable gap is an integer multiple of a Resource Block Group (RBG) size defined as a number of one or more consecutive resource blocks forming one RBG in a given system bandwidth; and
a resource allocation allocating one or more RBGs; and
controls transmission, to the terminal, of assignment information indicating the allocated resource blocks.
