1. An integrated circuit for an apparatus, the integrated circuit comprising:
transmission circuitry, which, in operation, controls transmitting, to a user equipment, downlink control information including an index indicating a first modulation order, a second modulation order, and a transport block size; and
control circuitry, which is coupled to the transmission circuitry and which, in operation, uses the second modulation order for a first transport block to be transmitted in a partial subframe, wherein the second modulation order is higher than the first modulation order which is used for a second transport block to be transmitted in a complete subframe of a defined length; wherein
the transmission circuitry, in operation, controls transmitting the first transport block in the partial subframe to the user equipment.
