Providing a downlink control structure in a first carrier to indicate control information in a second, different carrier

摘要

A mobile station receives a downlink control structure in a first carrier, where the downlink control structure indicates that control information for the mobile station is on a second, different carrier. The mobile station decodes the control information in the second carrier, where the control information specifies resource allocation of a wireless link for the mobile station. More specifically, according to some implementations, the control channel in the first carrier specifies the resource allocation for an extended control channel in the second carrier, where the extended control channel specifies the resource allocation for traffic data of a wireless link for the mobile station.

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, by a mobile station, higher layer signaling indicating resource allocation among a plurality of carriers, wherein the plurality of carriers comprises a first carrier and a second, different carrier; receiving, by the mobile station, control information in the first carrier, wherein the control information indicates that information for the mobile station is on the second carrier, and wherein the control information indicates a location and size of the information in the second carrier; decoding, by the mobile station, the information in the second carrier based on the control information; and performing communication, by the mobile station, with the base station using both the first carrier and the second carrier.
