1. A terminal device comprising:
detection circuitry configured to obtain a value Q from a Master Information Block (MIB) in a Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel (SS/PBCH) block in an SS/PBCH block candidate with time index Y, the time index Y being an index of the SS/PBCH block candidate among a first number of SS/PBCH block candidates in a half radio frame; and
reception circuitry configured to monitor at least type-0 Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) common search space set which corresponds to either of the SS/PBCH block candidates with time indexes Z+j*Q, wherein
each of the values j is any non-negative integer so that the Z+j*Q is smaller than a second number, and
the value Z is determined by a remainder of the time index Y divided by the value Q, or determined by a remainder of a DMRS index for a PBCH in the SS/PBCH block divided by the value Q.
