a transmitter which, in operation, transmits a signal including the first data, the second data, and the DMRS.

2. The transmitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the offset is a negative value.

5. The transmitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the offset is a positive value.

6. The transmitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the offset is a value that zeros the transmission power or the transmission power density of the second data.

7. The transmitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller, in operation, sets a second MCS (Modulation and coding scheme) level to the second data based on a criterion that is different from a first MCS level for the first data.

8. The transmitting device according to claim 7 , wherein the first MCS level is notified to the transmitting device by control information transmitted from a base station, the second MCS level being previously defined.

9. The transmitting device according to claim 7 , wherein the controller, in operation, adds a second offset to the first MCS level, to control the second MCS level.

10. The transmitting device according to claim 7 , wherein the second MCS level is equal to the first MCS level when the first MCS level is greater than a predetermined threshold, and

the second MCS level is lower than the first MCS level when the first MCS level is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold.

11. The transmitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller, in operation, sets a transmission power or a transmission power density higher than that of the first data, as a transmission power or a transmission power density of a resource on which the DMRS is mapped in the second mapping pattern, when the second mapping pattern is used.

12. The transmitting device according to claim 11 , further comprising:

a receiver which, in operation, receives information instructing a mapping pattern and a third offset from a base station, the mapping pattern used by the transmitting device being instructed from a plurality of mapping patterns including the first mapping pattern and the second mapping pattern,

wherein the controller, in operation, adds the third offset to the transmission power or the transmission power density of the first data, to set the transmission power or the transmission power density of the resource on which the DMRS is mapped.

13. The transmitting device according to claim 12 , wherein an amount of the third offset decreases with increasing bandwidth allocated to the signal.

14. A transmitting method comprising:

adding an offset to a transmission power or a transmission power density of first data mapped in a remaining resource other than a data resource, to control a transmission power or a transmission power density of second data mapped in the data resource, for use of a second mapping pattern, wherein a part of a resource on which a DMRS (Demodulation Reference Signal) is to be mapped in a first mapping pattern of the DMRS is replaced with a data resource in a second mapping pattern of the DMRS; and

transmitting a signal including the first data, the second data, and the DMRS.

15. The transmitting method according to claim 14 , further comprising:

receiving information instructing a mapping pattern and the offset from a base station, wherein the mapping pattern is among a plurality of mapping patterns including the first mapping pattern and the second mapping pattern.

16. The transmitting method according to claim 14 , further comprising:

setting a second MCS (Modulation and coding scheme) level to the second data based on a criterion that is different from a first MCS level for the first data.

17. The transmitting method according to claim 16 , further comprising:

adding a second offset to the first MCS level, to control the second MCS level.

18. The transmitting method according to claim 16 , wherein the second MCS level is equal to the first MCS level when the first MCS level is greater than a predetermined threshold, and

the second MCS level is lower than the first MCS level when the first MCS level is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold.

19. The transmitting method according to claim 14 , further comprising:

setting a transmission power or a transmission power density higher than that of the first data, as a transmission power or a transmission power density of a resource on which the DMRS is mapped in the second mapping pattern, when the second mapping pattern is used.
