mapping circuitry which, in operation, controls mapping one or more repetitions of control information in a search space region,
wherein the search space region includes a first plurality of sub-regions of different lengths for a largest repetition number of the control information,
wherein the search space region includes a second plurality of sub-regions of different lengths for a second-largest repetition number of the control information, and
wherein an interval of subframes to which the first plurality of sub-regions are mapped is greater than an interval of subframes to which the second plurality of sub-regions are mapped; and
transmission circuitry which, in operation, controls transmitting the one or more repetitions of the control information.
