METHOD OF TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION AND APPARATUSES THEREOF

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a method of transmitting and receiving downlink control information and an apparatus thereof. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for configuring aUE-USS when a downlink control search space is configured for a UE that supports a coverage enhancement operation or a low complexity UE category/type for a machine type communication (MTC) operation. Particularly, a method may include: receiving a higher layer signaling including at least one of maximum repetition level information and offset information; calculating a location of a start subframe where the repetitive transmission of a downlink control channel starts by using a higher layer signaling; monitoring a UE-specific search space in two or more subframes including the start subframe; and repetitively receiving a downlink control channel including downlink control information through the UE-specific search space.

主权项

1. A method for a machine type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) to receive downlink control information, the method comprising:
receiving a higher layer signaling including at least one of maximum repetition level information and offset information; calculating, by using the higher layer signaling, a location of a start subframe where repetitive transmission of a downlink control channel starts; monitoring a UE-specific search space in two or more subframes including the start subframe; and repetitively receiving the downlink control channel including downlink control information through the UE-specific search space.
