Wireless Communication Control Channel Apparatus and Method

摘要

An apparatus and method for control channel transmission in a wireless network are disclosed. A disclosure is provided with at least one resource block (RB) including a first control channel element associated with a first antenna port (AP) and a second control channel element associated with a second AP. The first and second control channel elements might be used for transmission of a single control channel, and a first reference signal sequence associated with one of the first AP and the second AP is selected for transmission of the single control channel based on a control channel element index value, such that a resource element of the at least one RB can be detected to decode the first control channel element and the second control channel element.

1. A method for decoding, comprising:
determining that a first control channel element associated with a first antenna port (AP) and a second control channel element associated with a second AP are used for transmission of a single control channel in a wireless network; selecting a first reference signal sequence associated with one of the first AP and the second AP for reception of the single control channel based on the lowest control channel index value of a first control channel element index value of the first control channel element and a second control channel element index value of the second control channel element; and detecting a resource element of the at least one RB using the first reference signal sequence to decode the first control channel element and the second control channel element.
