The purpose of the present invention is to be able to simultaneously generate three or more sets of CSI within a predetermined time interval, without degrading the accuracy of the CSI, to achieve CoMP control for flexible switching of base stations. At predetermined intervals or at timing coincident with reception of trigger information, a generation unit uses a CSI-RS resource to measure a desired signal component and interference component, and generate CSI. A transmission unit transmits control information including the CSI. During a given interval (for example, during four sub-frames) following reception of trigger information, the generation unit does not measure the interference component, instead using the most recent previously measured interference component, to measure the channel quality.
