Method for Assigning Number of Control Channel Candidates and Number of Blind Detection Times, Base Station, and User Equipment
First Claim
1. A method for assigning the number of control channel candidates, the method comprising:
- determining, by a base station, a first aggregation level set {L1i};
determining, by the base station, the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to each aggregation level in the set {L1i}, wherein the set {L1i} is formed by N aggregation levels supported by an EPDCCH, where i is a positive integer that ranges from 1 to N;
determining, by the base station, a second aggregation level set {L2j}; and
determining, by the base station, the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to each aggregation level in the set {L2j}, wherein the set {L2j} is formed by M aggregation levels supported by an EPDCCH to be detected, j is a positive integer that ranges from 1 to M, the set {L2j} is a subset of the set {L1i}, M≦
N, and the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to L2j in the set {L2j} is greater than or equal to the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to L2j in the set {L1i}.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method for assigning the number of control channel candidates and the number of blind detection times, a base station, and a user equipment. The method includes determining a first aggregation level set {L1i} and determining the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to each aggregation level in the {L1i}. {L1i} is formed by N aggregation levels supported by an EPDCCH. A second aggregation level set {L2j} is determined along with the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to each aggregation level in the {L2j}. {L2j} is formed by M aggregation levels supported by an EPDCCH to be detected, {L2j} is a subset of {L1i}, and the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to L2j in {L2j} is greater than or equal to the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to L2j in {L1i}.
