Abstract

A method is provided for allowing a user equipment to receive data in a wireless communication system. The user equipment performs blind decoding for an enhanced physical downlink channel (EPDCCH) in which a downlink control information (DCI) is transmitted. The user equipment decodes data on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) by using the DCI. If the DCI does not comprise demodulation reference signal information for decoding of the PDSCH, the PDSCH is decoded by using demodulation reference signal information associated with a resource block among a plurality of resource blocks in which the DCI is transmitted.

Claims

1. A method for allowing a user equipment to receive data in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

performing, by the user equipment, blind decoding for an enhanced physical downlink channel (EPDCCH) in which a downlink control information (DCI) is transmitted; and

decoding, by the user equipment, data of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) by using DCI,

wherein, if the DCI does not comprise demodulation reference signal information for decoding of the P the PDSCH is decoded by using demodulation reference signal information associated with a resource block among a plurality of resource blocks in which the DCI is transmitted.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein, if a downlink grant of the DCI is transmitted on two or more of the plurality of resource blocks, the demodulation reference signal information for decoding of the PDSCH is associated with a resource block having a lowest antenna port index among the two or more resource blocks.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein, if a downlink grant of the DCI is transmitted in one resource block, the demodulation reference signal information for decoding of the PDSCH is one antenna port selected from a plurality of antenna ports allocated to the one resource block.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the demodulation reference signal information includes at least one of information related to an antenna port and information related to a scrambling sequence.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the antenna port is one selected from a plurality of antenna ports allocated to each of one or more resource blocks for the EPDCCH.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein if the DCI does not comprise demodulation reference signal information for decoding of the PDSCH, a DCI format of the DCI is a DCI format 1A.

7. A user equipment in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a reception module configured to receive an enhanced physical downlink channel (EPDCCH); and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to;

perform blind decoding for the received EPDCCH in which a downlink control information (DCI) is transmitted, and

decode data of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) by using DCI,

wherein, if the DCI does not comprise demodulation reference signal information for decoding of the PDSCH, the PDSCH is decoded by using demodulation reference signal information associated with a resource block among a plurality of resource blocks in which the DCI is transmitted.

8. The user equipment according to claim 7, wherein, if a downlink grant of the DCI is transmitted on two or more of the plurality of resource blocks, the demodulation reference signal information for decoding of the PDSCH is associated with a resource block having a lowest antenna port index among the two or more resource blocks.

9. The user equipment according to claim 7, wherein, if a downlink grant of the DCI is transmitted in one resource block, the demodulation reference signal information for decoding of the PDSCH is one antenna port selected from a plurality of antenna ports allocated to the one resource block.

10. The user equipment according to claim 7, wherein the demodulation reference signal information includes at least one of information related to an antenna port and information related to a scrambling sequence.

11. The user equipment according to claim 10, wherein the antenna port is one selected from a plurality of antenna ports allocated to each of one or more resource blocks for the EPDCCH.

12. The user equipment according to claim 7, wherein if the DCI does not comprise demodulation reference signal information for decoding of the PDSCH, a DCI format of the DCI is a DCI format 1A.
