Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for a User Equipment (UE) to receive control information. A Downlink Control Information (DCI) format to be monitored is identified. An aggregation level is identified based on the identified DCI format. Control information is received based on the identified aggregation level.
Claims16
A method for a user equipment (UE) to receive control information, comprising:
- identifying a downlink control information (DCI) format to be monitored;
- identifying an aggregation level based on the identified DCI format and a number of physical resource block (PRB) pairs;
- and
- receiving control information based on the identified aggregation level.
1 more element
A method for a base station to transmit control information, comprising:
- transmitting control information,
- wherein the control information is received by a user equipment (UE) based on an aggregation level, and
- wherein the aggregation level is identified by the UE based on a downlink control information (DCI) to be monitored and a number of physical resource block (PRB) pairs.
A user equipment (UE) to receive control information, comprising:
- a controller configured to identify a downlink control information (DCI) format to be monitored, and identify an aggregation level based on the identified DCI format and a number of physical resource block (PRB) pairs;
- and
- a transceiver configured to receive control information based on the identified aggregation level.
A base station to transmit control information, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit control information,
- wherein the control information is received by a user equipment (UE) based on an aggregation level, and
- wherein the aggregation level is identified by the UE based on a downlink control information (DCI) to be monitored and a number of physical resource block (PRB) pairs.
