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 first radio frame on a first carrier, wherein the first subframe comprises a control region, the control region is in first n symbols of the first subframe, and n is a natural number less than 5;
sending, by the network device, control information in the control region of the first subframe of the first radio frame to a user equipment, and sending a demodulation reference signal in the first subframe to the user equipment, wherein the control information comprises a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or a first enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH); and
sending, by the network device, a second ePDCCH in a second subframe of the first radio frame to the user equipment.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a control information sending method, receiving method, and device. 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.
