1. A base station comprising: a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) and a first offset value, which is indicated by an acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (Ack/Nack) Resource Indicator (ARI), to a terminal apparatus; and a receiver, which, in operation, receives a response signal on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource from the terminal apparatus, the PUCCH resource determined by the terminal apparatus based on a leading enhanced control channel element (eCCE) index (neccE) of the ePDCCH and the first offset value, wherein the first offset value is one of a plurality of first offset values including a fixed offset and a variable offset, the variable offset is calculated using a formula that includes, as a parameter, a size of an ePDCCH search space set configured for the terminal apparatus, the size of the ePDCCH search space set for a special subframe is smaller than the size of the ePDCCH search space set for a non-special subframe such that an absolute value of the first offset value calculated for a special subframe is smaller than an absolute value of the first offset value calculated for a non-special subframe, and the fixed offset is used as the first offset in response to a first ARI transmitted to the terminal apparatus, and the variable offset is used as the first offset in response to a second ARI different from the first ARI transmitted to the terminal apparatus.
