US 2015/0085772 A1 · METHOD FOR FORMING RESOURCE BLOCK FOR SEARCH REGION IN DISTRIBUTION-TYPE DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for a terminal to receive an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) from a based station in a wireless communication system. More particularly, the method includes the steps of: defining a first number of enhanced resource element groups (EREGs) for each resource block for the EPDCCH; monitoring EPDCCH candidates consisting of one or more enhanced control channel elements (ECCEs) in resource blocks so as to receive the EPDCCH, wherein each of the one or more ECCEs consists of a second number of EREGs included in different resource blocks, and the indexes of the resource blocks including the second number of EREGs are determined on the basis of a specific value obtained by dividing the number of resource blocks by the second number.

A method for receiving an EPDCCH (Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel) from a base station by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

defining a first number of EREGs (Enhanced Resource Element Groups) in each of resource blocks for the EPDCCH;
and
receiving the EPDCCH by monitoring EPDCCH candidates comprising one or more ECCEs (Enhanced Control Channel Elements) in the resource blocks,
wherein each of the one or more ECCEs comprises a second number of EREGs included in different resource blocks,
wherein indexes of the different resource blocks including the second number of EREGs are determined based on a specific value obtained by dividing a number of resource blocks by the second number.
