Abstract
A method and apparatus of monitoring a control channel in a multiple carrier system is provided. A user equipment monitors a plurality of candidate control channels within a control region of a subframe and receives reference control information on a reference control channel which is successfully decoded. The user equipment monitors the control region on a basis of the reference control information and receives link control information on a linked control channel which is successfully decoded. The link control information includes resource assignment information used to receive or transmit data packets via a plurality of component carriers.
Claims8
A method of monitoring a control channel in a multiple carrier system, the method comprising:
- monitoring, at a user equipment (UE), at least one first candidate control channel within a control region of a subframe to receive first control information on a first control channel which is successfully decoded from the at least one first candidate control channel, and
- monitoring, at the UE, at least one second candidate control channel within a data region of the subframe on a basis of the first control information to receive second control information on a second control channel which is successfully decoded from the at least one second candidate control channel, the second control information including resource assignment information used to receive or transmit data packets via a plurality of component carriers.
A wireless apparatus for supporting multiple carriers, the wireless apparatus comprising a control channel monitoring circuitry configured to monitor a control channel, wherein the control channel monitoring circuitry is configured to:
- monitor at least one first candidate control channel within a control region of a subframe to receive first control information on a first control channel which is successfully decoded from the at least one first candidate control channel, and monitor at least one second candidate control channel within a data region of the subframe on a basis of the first control information to receive second control information on a second control channel which is successfully decoded from the at least one second candidate control channel, the second control information including resource assignment information used to receive or transmit data packets via a plurality of component carriers.
