Method and apparatus for allocating enhanced physical downlink control channel in wireless access system

A method for transmitting an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (E-PDCCH) signal in a wireless access system, the method comprising;

• transmitting an E-PDCCH indication signal including information indicating the presence or absence of an E-PDCCH signal and resource allocation information indicating a resource region of the E-PDCCH signal;
• and
• transmitting the E-PDCCH signal in the resource region indicated by the resource allocation information,
• wherein the E-PDCCH indication signal is transmitted in a legacy PDCCH region.

A User Equipment (UE) for receiving an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (E-PDCCH) signal in a wireless access system, the method comprising;

• a reception module;
• a transmission module;
• and
• a processor configured to support reception of an E-PDCCH signal,
• wherein the UE receives an E-PDCCH indication signal including information indicating the presence or absence of an E-PDCCH signal and resource allocation information indicating a resource region of the E-PDCCH signal through the reception module, and receives the E-PDCCH signal in the resource region indicated by the resource allocation information through the reception module, and
• wherein the E-PDCCH indication signal is transmitted in a legacy PDCCH region.
