RADIO BASE STATION APPARATUS, USER TERMINAL, RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND RADIO COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

The present invention is designed to allocate radio resources for an extended control channel adequately in a configuration in which a downlink control channel is extended. A radio base station apparatus according to the present invention has a mapping section configured to separate and map, per predetermined frequency domain unit constituting a system band, a common search space, which is a candidate region to arrange common control information that is common between user terminals in, and a UE-specific search space, which is a candidate region to arrange specific control information that is specific to each user terminal in, and a transmission section configured to frequency-division-multiplex with a downlink shared data channel and transmit an extended downlink control channel, in which the common control information is arranged in the common search space and in which the specific control information is arranged in the UE-specific search space, and the mapping section maps the common search space to a plurality of frequency domain units such that the common search space is distributed in the system band.
