Method and apparatus for receiving a control channel

摘要

Various methods and apparatuses for receiving a control channel involve a communication device monitoring a first control and receiving information from a network regarding the configuration of a second control channel. The communication device receives an uplink grant from the network; transmits a message to the network, in which the message indicates to the network that the communication device is capable of monitoring the second control channel. The communication device monitors the second control channel based on the configuration information receiving via the first control channel.

1. A method for a communication device to handover from a first cell to a second cell, the method comprising:
receiving, by a communication device, a handover message indicating that the communication device is to handover from the first cell to the second cell, the first and second cells operating on the same carrier frequency, wherein the handover message includes information regarding one or more of:
information regarding time-frequency resources of a control channel of the second cell, wherein the frequency span of the time-frequency resources is smaller than the transmission bandwidth configuration of the second cell,an identification of a set of antenna ports to be used to communicate via a control channel of the second cell, andinformation regarding energy per resource element of a control channel of the second cell; performing, by the communication device, a handover from the first cell to the second cell; and receiving, via the control channel of the second cell by the communication device, indication of resources for at least one of downlink and uplink transmissions.
