Abstract

In a mobile communication system in which an space of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for a mobile station apparatus to search is defined based on a mobile station identity assigned from a base station apparatus, the base station apparatus places a PDCCH including a first mobile station identity or a PDCCH including a second mobile station identity in a search space of a PDCCH corresponding to the first mobile station identity when the base station apparatus assigns a plurality of mobile station identities to the mobile station apparatus, and when a plurality of mobile station identities is assigned from the base station apparatus, the mobile station apparatus performs decoding processing of the PDCCH including the first mobile station identity and the PDCCH including the second mobile station identity in the search space of the PDCCH corresponding to the first mobile station identity.

Claims

1. A mobile communication system comprising:

a base station; and

a mobile station communicating with the base station,

wherein the base station is configured to transmit, to the mobile station, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a search space, the search space comprising a plurality of resource elements, the search space corresponding to a cell-radio network temporary identity (C-RNTI) for dynamic scheduling, the PDCCH transmitted by the base station in the search space including both a C-RNTI for persistent scheduling and resource allocation information, and

wherein the mobile station is configured to;

search for the PDCCH in the search space, the search space being located by the mobile station according to the C-RNTI for dynamic scheduling;

decode the PDCCH according to the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling, when the mobile station has both the C-RNTI for dynamic scheduling and the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling, and

determine to deactivate scheduling of data transmission on persistently-allocated resources, with consideration of a value of the resource allocation information, when the PDCCH includes the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling.

2. The mobile communication system according to claim 1, wherein the configuration of the mobile station to determine to deactivate the scheduling of the data transmission on the persistently-allocated resources, includes configuring the mobile station to:

determine that a value of the resource allocation information is a value predefined for deactivation.

3. A processing method in a mobile station comprising:

searching for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a search space, the search space comprising a plurality of resource elements and being located by the mobile station according to a cell-radio network temporary identity (C-RNTI) for dynamic scheduling;

decoding the PDCCH according to a C-RNTI for persistent scheduling, when the mobile station has both the C-RNTI for dynamic scheduling and the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling, wherein the PDCCH includes both the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling and resource allocation information;

determining to deactivate scheduling of data transmission on persistently-allocated resources, with consideration of a value of the resource allocation information, when the PDCCH includes the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the determining to deactivate scheduling of data transmission on persistently-allocated resources, comprising:

determining that a value of the resource allocation information is a value predefined for deactivation.

5. A processing method in a base station comprising:

transmitting, to a mobile station, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a search space, the search space comprising a plurality of resource elements, the search space corresponding to a cell-radio network temporary identity (C-RNTI) for dynamic scheduling,

wherein the PDCCH includes both a C-RNTI for persistent scheduling and resource allocation information when a mobile station has both the C-RNTI for dynamic scheduling and the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling,

wherein the PDCCH is designated to be searched in the search space, the search space being located by the mobile station according to the C-RNTI for dynamic scheduling,

wherein the PDCCH is further designated to be decoded by the mobile station according to the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling, and

wherein a value of the resource allocation information is designated to direct the mobile station to deactivate data transmission on persistently-allocated resources.

6. A mobile station comprising at least one processor and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

search for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) a search space, the search space comprising a plurality of resource elements and being located by the mobile station according to a cell-radio network temporary identity (C-RNTI) for dynamic scheduling;

decode the PDCCH according to a C-RNTI for persistent scheduling, when the mobile station has both the C-RNTI for dynamic scheduling and the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling, wherein the PDCCH includes both the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling and resource allocation information; and

determine to deactivate scheduling of data transmission on persistently-allocated resources, with consideration of a value of the resource allocation information, when the PDCCH includes the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling.

7. The mobile station according to claim 6, the configuration of the processor to determine to deactivate the scheduling of the data transmission on the persistently-allocated resources, includes configuring the processor to:

determine that a value of the resource allocation information is a value predefined for deactivation.

8. Abase station comprising:

a processor; and

a transmitter configured to transmit, to a mobile station, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a search space, the search space comprising a plurality of resource elements, the search space corresponding to a cell-radio network temporary identity (C-RNTI) for dynamic scheduling,

wherein the PDCCH includes both a C-RNTI for persistent scheduling and resource allocation information when a mobile station has both the C-RNTI for dynamic scheduling and the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling,

wherein the PDCCH is designated to be searched in the search space, the search space being located by the mobile station according to the C-RNTI for dynamic scheduling,

wherein the PDCCH is further designated to be decoded by the mobile station according to the C-RNTI for persistent scheduling, and

wherein a value of the resource allocation information is designated to direct the mobile station to deactivate data transmission on persistently-allocated resources.
