1. A method for transmission of control data to a user equipment in a mobile telecommunication system, wherein the method comprises:
- sending control data to the user equipment in a data transmission, wherein the data transmission has a first control data region and a second control data region, wherein the second control data region is located in a data region of the data transmission, wherein the first control data region is located in a control region in the data transmission preceding the data region, wherein the first control data region comprises common control data for different user equipments, and wherein the second control data region comprises user-equipment-specific control data for said user equipment;
configuring a position of a plurality of transmission elements that are potential bearers of the control data;
sending control information to the user equipment in order to select transmission elements among the configured transmission elements;
monitoring the selected transmission elements, by the user equipment; and
performing, by the user equipment, a blind decoding of the selected transmission elements within the data transmission in order to detect the control data in the control region and in the data region in the data transmission.
