BASE UNIT AND DEVICE FOR CANDIDATE CONTROL CHANNELS AND METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

A base unit and device identify control channel candidate search spaces. According to one aspect, the base unit maps the remote unit to a set of candidate control channel elements making up a control channel candidate search space for a control channel for the remote unit. The base unit selects a control channel comprising one or more control channel elements from the set of candidate control channel elements. Control information for the remote unit is communicated using the selected control channel. According to another aspect, the remote unit uses a signal received from the base unit to identify a control channel candidate search space in which to search for the control signal.
