1. A communication apparatus comprising:
circuitry, which, in operation, configure a plurality of combinations for a terminal, the plurality of combinations including one combination of one or more control channel regions to be monitored by the terminal, and the one combination being specific to the terminal and different from a combination configured for another terminal; and
a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits, to the terminal via higher-layer signaling, configuration information indicating the plurality of combinations, and transmits, to the terminal via dynamic signaling, information indicating the one combination out of the plurality of combinations.
