Abstract

The present invention is designed to provide a radio communication terminal, a base station apparatus, a radio communication system and a radio communication method which can reduce the cost to be required for an MTC terminal when the LTE system is employed in the network domain of a machine communication system. A radio communication terminal according to the present invention is a radio communication terminal that performs machine communication via a base station apparatus of a radio communication system that is operated such that a frequency becomes the first band at a maximum, depending on the performance which a communication device supports, and has a receiving section that has receiving performance to be able to support the first band, and that decodes the entire band of the first band at least with respect to a time domain where a downlink control channel is allocated, and a transmission section that has transmission performance to be able to support a second band having a narrower bandwidth than the first band, and that allocates an uplink control channel and an uplink data channel to the second band.
