1. An integrated circuit to control a process for a terminal, the process comprising:
receiving downlink control information and downlink data;
determining, based on the downlink control information and an offset, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource used for transmission of a response signal for the downlink data; and
transmitting the response signal using the determined PUCCH resource,
wherein:
a first offset is used as the offset when the terminal is configured in a coverage enhancement mode, in which the response signal is allowed to be transmitted repeatedly for one of plural repetition levels in a plurality of subframes, where the first offset is configured for each of the plural repetition levels; and
the first offset is different from a second offset, which is used when the terminal is not configured in the coverage enhancement mode.
