Abstract

There is provided a terminal device that communicates with a base station apparatus. The device includes: a higher layer processing unit that configures a discovery signal which includes cell-specific reference signals present in DwPTSs of all downlink subframes and all special subframes, a first synchronization signal present in a prescribed subframe, a second synchronization signal present in a first subframe, and one or more non-zero power CSI reference signals during a period of continuous subframes in a predetermined cell; and a reception unit that receives the discovery signal. A subframe offset between the second synchronization signal and the non-zero power CSI reference signal is independently configured for each of the non-zero power CSI reference signals.
