`
`(Currently Amended) A base station comprising:
`
`control circuitry which, in operation, allocates a physical downlinlt shared channel
`
`(PDSCH) on a plurality of resource blocks (RBs) determined based on a frequency position ofa
`
`narrowband and a frequency position of resource block groups (RBGS),
`
`wherein a boundary of the frequency position of the narrowband is
`
`different from a boundary of the frequency position of the RBGSzj-ggé

`
`(Previously Presented) The base station according to Claim ‘1 , wherein the
`
`PDSCH is transmitted in different RBs which are shifted from RBs at different time in case of a
`
`frequency hopping.
`
`19.
`
`(Currently Amended) The base station according to Claim 1, wherein
`
`the centre}. circuitry, in operation, allocates the PDSCH to a first RBG in a first
`
`narrowband and a second RBG in a second narrowband,
`
`allocations ofRBGs in the first narrowband and the second narrowband are
`
`different from each other, and
`
`the first RBG includes a first total number of RBS, and the second RBG includes a
`
`second total number ofRBs equal to the first total number of RBS.

`20.
`
`(New) The base station according to Claim 19, wherein
`
`the first RBG includes a first set of RBs, and the second RBG includes a second
`
`set of RBs different from the first set ofRBs, and
`
`the PDSCH is allocated to a single RBG in the first narrowband, and to a single
`
`RBG in the second narrowband.
