Control information sending method, receiving method, and device
First Claim
1. A control information sending method comprising:
- determining, by a network device, a first subframe of a radio frame on a carrier,wherein the first subframe comprises at least two control regions, each of the control regions is in first n symbols of the first subframe, and n is a natural number less than 5, a quantity of symbols within the first subframe is 12 or 14, the radio frame comprises the first subframe and at least a second subframe that does not comprise a control region;
notifying, by the network device, a user equipment of resource positions of the at least two control regions, wherein the at least two control regions are frequency-multiplexed; and
sending, by the network device, control information and a demodulation reference signal in at least one of the at least two control regions of the first subframe of the radio frame to the user equipment, wherein the control information comprises at least one physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

Abstract
A control information sending method, receiving method, and device are provided. The control information sending method includes: determining a first subframe of a first radio frame on a first carrier, where the first subframe includes a control region; sending control information in the control region of the first subframe of the first radio frame to a user equipment, where the control information includes a PDCCH; and sending an ePDCCH in a second subframe of the first radio frame to the user equipment. According to the embodiments of the present invention, when control information borne on an ePDCCH cannot be sent in a first radio frame, a PDCCH can still be sent to a user equipment through a control region in a first subframe, thereby achieving purposes of performing uplink/downlink scheduling for the user equipment and downlink feedback for uplink data of the user equipment.
