Then, the setting unit 101 sets two pieces of identification information corresponding to the two selected SRS resource pattern candidates as release information. Specifically, the setting unit 101 uses a concatenated bit string obtained by concatenating bit strings representing two pieces of identification information as release information. As shown in FIG. 1, since the identification information corresponding to the SRS resource pattern candidate is represented by 4 bits, the release information is composed of 8 bits.
