and receiving from the node the control information through the E-PDCCH, based on the information relating to the resource allocation method which is received. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of receiving control information, by a user equipment in a distributed multi-node system, the method comprising: receiving information on a resource assignment scheme for an E-PDCCH (enhanced-physical downlink control channel) from a node; and receiving the control information from the node via the E-PDCCH based on the received information on the resource assignment scheme. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the resource assignment scheme comprises a localized resource assignment scheme and a distributed resource assignment scheme. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the information on the resource assignment scheme is received by an RRC (radio resource control) signaling. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the information on the resource assignment scheme is received on a PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) in a manner of being contained in downlink control information. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the PDCCH in which the information on the resource assignment scheme is received corresponds to an E-PCFICH (enhanced-physical control format indicator channel). ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the information on the resource assignment scheme is received as a CSI-RS (channel state information-reference signal) and wherein the resource assignment scheme is determined according to which CIS-RS configuration is received. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the E-PDCCH comprises information on a resource assignment scheme for a corresponding PDSCH (physical downlink shared channel). ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the E-PDCCH is received in a data region of a subframe. ### Claim 9 A device receiving control information in a distributed multi-node system, comprising: a transmitter; a receiver; and a processor configured to receive information on a resource assignment scheme for an E-PDCCH (enhanced-physical downlink control channel) from a node in a manner of controlling the receiver, the processor configured to receive control information from the node via the E-PDCCH based on the received information on the resource assignment scheme. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The device of claim 9, wherein the resource assignment scheme comprises a localized resource assignment scheme and a distributed resource assignment scheme. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The device of claim 9, wherein the information on the resource assignment scheme is received by an RRC (radio resource control) signaling. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The device of claim 9, wherein the information on the resource assignment scheme is received on a PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) in a manner of being contained in downlink control information. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The device of claim 12, wherein the PDCCH in which the information on the resource assignment scheme is received corresponds to an E-PCFICH (enhanced-physical control format indicator channel). ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The device of claim 9, wherein the information on the resource assignment scheme is received as a CSI-RS (channel state information-reference signal) and wherein the resource assignment scheme is determined according to which CIS-RS configuration is received. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The device of claim 9, wherein the E-PDCCH comprises information on a resource assignment scheme for a corresponding PDSCH (physical downlink shared channel). ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The device of claim 9, wherein the E-PDCCH is received in a data region of a subframe. ### Claim 17 A method of transmitting control information, by a node in a distributed multi-node system, the method comprising: transmitting information on a resource assignment scheme for an E-PDCCH (enhanced-physical downlink control channel); and transmitting control information via the E-PDCCH according to the resource assignment scheme. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17, wherein the information on the resource assignment scheme is transmitted as a CSI-RS (channel state information-reference signal) and wherein the resource assignment scheme is determined according to which CIS-RS configuration is transmitted. ### Claim 19 A device transmitting control information in a distributed multi-node system, comprising: a transmitter; a receiver; and a processor configured to transmit information on a resource assignment scheme for an E-PDCCH (enhanced-physical downlink control channel) in a manner of controlling the transmitter, the processor configured to transmit control information via the E-PDCCH according to the resource assignment scheme. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The device of claim 19, wherein the information on the resource assignment scheme is transmitted as a CSI-RS (channel state information-reference signal) and wherein the resource assignment scheme is determined according to which CIS-RS configuration is transmitted.
