US 2014/0112283 A1 · METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ALLOCATING A DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

Provided are a method and device for allocating a downlink control channel in a wireless communication system. A base station allocates an enhanced physical control format indicator channel (e-PCFICH) to a control region of a plurality of resource blocks (RBs), transmits, to a terminal, an enhanced physical downlink control channel (e-PDCCH) indicator including information for indicating the start position of an e-PDCCH allocated to a data region of the plurality of RBs, and allocates the e-PDCCH to the data region of the plurality of RBs on the basis of the e-PDCCH indicator.

Dependent claims

A method for allocating, by a base station, a downlink control channel in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

allocating an enhanced physical control format indicator channel (e-PCFICH) to a control region of a plurality of resource blocks (RBs);
transmitting to a user equipment an enhanced physical downlink control channel (e-PDCCH) indicator including information indicating a start position of an e-PDCCH allocated to a data region of the plurality of RBs through the e-PCFICH;
and
allocating the e-PDCCH to the data region of the plurality of RBs based on the e-PDCCH indicator.
