METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING DELAY BETWEEN RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL AND DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL

摘要

A method is provided for a UE to determine the start time of the downlink control channel for M2M communication in LTE systems. The method comprises a UE receiving a parameter set to determine the start time of the (E)PDCCH from the eNB; calculating the start time based on the received parameter set from the eNB; combining/decoding the repetitive (E)PDCCHs; and sending the feedback information to confirm/reject the reception of the (E)PDCCH.
