BASE STATION, TERMINAL, TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND RECEPTION METHOD

摘要

Disclosed is a base station capable of appropriately configuring a resource on which EPDCCH is located when soft combining is applied. The base station includes configuration section 102 that configures an EPDCCH set in a plurality of subframes, the EPDCCH set being formed of ECCEs to which control information (assignment information) transmitted over the plurality of subframes is assigned; and an assignment section 105 that assigns the control information to any of the ECCEs in each of the plurality of subframes.

主权项

1. A communication apparatus comprising:
configuration circuitry, which, in operation, configures an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (EPDCCH) set in a plurality of subframes, the EPDCCH set being formed of Enhanced Control Channel Elements (ECCEs) to which control information transmitted over the plurality of subframes is assigned; and assignment circuitry, which, in operation, assigns the control information to any of the ECCEs on a Physical Resource Block (PRB) pair in each of the plurality of subframes and, in operation, assigns downlink data to a last subframe of the plurality of subframes, assignment of the downlink data being indicated by the control information.
