A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product for decoding control information, wherein a total number of allocation blocks defining control channels to be allocated to users for at least one of uplink and downlink directions is determined. Then, a format which determines resource allocation within allocation blocks is selected, allocation blocks are decoded using the selected format, and an error checking is performed for the decoded allocation blocks. This selecting, coding and error checking is repeated for different available formats until no error is revealed in said error checking. Thereby, a blind estimation of a format chosen for the control channel information can be achieved, so that additional amount of control signalling can be reduced. |
