Disclosed are a transmission device and a transmission method with which it is possible to prevent delays in data transmission and to minimize the increase in the number of bits necessary for the notification of a CC to be used, in cases where a CC to be used is added during communication employing carrier aggregation. When a component carrier is to be added to a component carrier set, a setting section provided in a base station: modifies a CIF table that defines the correspondence between code points, which are used as labels for the respective component carriers contained in the component carrier set, and the identification information of the respective component carriers; and assigns a vacant code point to the component carrier to be added, while keeping the correspondence between the code points and the component carrier identification information defined in the CIF table before modification.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a narrowband device may communicate in a wireless communications network according to frequency hopping techniques. Devices using narrowband communications and frequency hopping techniques may maintain separate radio link monitoring (RLM) processes, beam failure detection (BFD) processes, beam failure recovery (BFR) processes, or combinations thereof, for multiple bandwidth parts (BWPs) or hop regions of a full channel bandwidth. Such separate processes may provide for enhanced estimates of beam failures per BWP or hop region, which may be used to enhance communications reliability.

A first communication device allocates respective portions of a communication channel, that includes at least one primary component channel and one or more non-primary component channels, to a plurality of second communication devices, including a bandwidth-limited second communication device configured to operate with a maximum bandwidth that is less than a full bandwidth of the communication channel. The bandwidth-limited second communication device is operating in a particular component channel, and allocation of a frequency portion to the bandwidth-limited second communication device is restricted to the particular component channel. The first communication device transmits a data unit that includes one or both of: respective data for the second communication devices in the respective frequency portions allocated to the respective second communication devices, and one or more trigger frames to prompt transmission of respective data by the second communication devices in the respective frequency portions allocated to the respective second communication devices.
