A communication apparatus has a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver, in operation receives a control signal including a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) Index, a channel quality indicator (CQI) trigger and information indicating uplink resource blocks. The transmitter in operation, determines whether to multiplex an aperiodic CQI report with data in an uplink signal based on the MCS Index, the channel quality indicator trigger, the information indicating uplink resource blocks, and a threshold number of resource blocks, and transmits the uplink signal.
