1. A user equipment, comprising:
reception circuitry configured to receive a downlink control information (DCI) format 5A from a base station; and
determination circuitry configured to determine whether a field “Lowest index of the sub-channel allocation to the initial transmission” is present in the DCI format 5A, wherein
the determination circuitry is further configured to determine a resource index LInit of a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) such that:
if the field “Lowest index of the sub-channel allocation to the initial transmission” is present in the DCI format 5A, the resource index LInit is a value indicated by the “Lowest index of the sub-channel allocation to the initial transmission” field, and
otherwise, the resource index LInit is 0.
