Abstract

Provided are a method whereby user equipment (UE) transmits capability information in a wireless communication system and UE using the method. The method comprises: generating UE capability information indicating the capability of the UE; and transmitting the UE capability information to a base station, wherein the UE capability information includes blind decoding (BD) capability information indicating the number of times the UE can perform BD on a downlink control channel in one subframe.

Claims

1. A method of monitoring downlink control information (DCI) in a wireless communication system by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving the DCI in one or more resource blocks; and

monitoring a plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates to detect the DCI in the one or more resource blocks based on an aggregation level of a serving cell,

wherein, when PDCCH candidate information related to PDCCH candidate reduction is configured to the UE, the UE monitors PDCCH candidates based on the PDCCH candidate information among the plurality of PDCCH candidates, and

wherein when a number of the PDCCH candidates is given by N, being an integer number, based on the PDCCH candidate information, the UE monitors a set of N PDCCH candidates having lowest consecutive PDCCH index values.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the PDCCH candidate information informs a number of PDCCH candidates being less than or equal to the plurality of PDCCH candidates.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of PDCCH candidates have corresponding PDCCH candidate index numbers.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving the PDCCH candidate information.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein, when the PDCCH candidate information is not configured to the UE, the UE monitors all of the plurality of PDCCH candidates in order to detect the DCI.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving data based on the DCI.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the PDCCH candidate information is a UE-specific PDCCH candidate information.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the PDCCH candidate information is received through a higher layer signal.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the higher layer signal is a radio resource control (RRC) message.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the UE supports aggregation of more than 5 cells.

11. A user equipment (UE) for monitoring downlink control information (DCI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the transceiver and configured to;

receive the DCI in one or more resource blocks; and

monitor a plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates to detect the DCI in the one or more resource blocks based on an aggregation level of a serving cell,

wherein, when PDCCH candidate information related to PDCCH candidate reduction is configured to the UE, the UE monitors PDCCH candidates based on the PDCCH candidate information among the plurality of PDCCH candidates, and

wherein when a number of the PDCCH candidates is given by N, being an integer number, based on the PDCCH candidate information, the UE monitors a set of N PDCCH candidates having lowest consecutive PDCCH index values.

12. The UE of claim 11, wherein the PDCCH candidate information informs a number of PDCCH candidates being less than or equal to the plurality of PDCCH candidates.

13. The UE of claim 11, wherein the plurality of PDCCH candidates have corresponding PDCCH candidate index numbers.

14. The UE of claim 11, wherein, when the PDCCH candidate information is not configured to the UE, the UE monitors all of the plurality of PDCCH candidates in order to detect the DCI.

15. The UE of claim 11, wherein the PDCCH candidate information is a UE-specific PDCCH candidate information.

16. The UE of claim 11, wherein the PDCCH candidate information is received through a higher layer signal.

17. The UE of claim 11, wherein the higher layer signal is a radio resource control (RRC) message.

18. The UE of claim 11, wherein the UE supports aggregation of more than 5 cells.

19. A processor for a wireless communication device in a wireless communication system,

wherein the processor is configured to control the wireless communication device to:

receive the DCI in one or more resource blocks; and

monitor a plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates to detect the DCI in the one or more resource blocks based on an aggregation level of a serving cell,

wherein, when PDCCH candidate information related to PDCCH candidate reduction is configured to the UE, the UE monitors PDCCH candidates based on the PDCCH candidate information among the plurality of PDCCH candidates, and

wherein when a number of the PDCCH candidates is given by N, being an integer number, based on the PDCCH candidate information, the UE monitors a set of N PDCCH candidates having lowest consecutive PDCCH index values.
