Abstract

A method for receiving an EPDCCH (enhanced physical downlink control channel) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method includes receiving an EPDCCH configuration including resource parameters related with a PDSCH (physical downlink shared channel) via a RRC(Radio Resource Control) signaling; and monitoring a search space to decode the EPDCCH from a starting OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol for the EPDCCH in a resource block set for the EPDCCH, according to the resource parameters related with the PDSCH, wherein if the UE is configured to associate with multiple transmission points, the starting OFDM symbol for the EPDCCH is set according to the resource parameters related with the PDSCH.

Claims

1. A method for receiving an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by the UE, an EPDCCH configuration via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, wherein the EPDCCH configuration includes resource parameters related with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) if the UE is configured to associate with multiple transmission points; and

monitoring, by the UE, a search space to decode the EPDCCH from a starting Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol for the EPDCCH in a resource block set for the EPDCCH, according to the resource parameters related with the PDSCH,

wherein the starting OFDM symbol for the EPDCCH is set according to the resource parameters related with the PDSCH.

2. The method according to the claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a downlink signal including a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and the EPDCCH.

3. A user equipment (UE) for receiving an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) in a wireless communication system, the (UE) comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured;

to receive an EPDCCH configuration via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, wherein the EPDCCH configuration includes resource parameters related with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) if the UE is configured to associate with multiple transmission points, and

to monitor a search space to decode the EPDCCH from a starting Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol for the EPDCCH in a resource block set for the EPDCCH, according to the resource parameters related with the PDSCH,

wherein the starting OFDM symbol for the EPDCCH is set according to the resource parameters related with the PDSCH.

4. The UE according to the claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to receive a downlink signal including a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and the EPDCCH.
