USER TERMINAL, WIRELESS BASE STATION DEVICE, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

The present invention is designed to minimize the increase of user terminal power consumption even when downlink control channels are extended. A radio base station apparatus having: an allocation section that allocates downlink control information in a first control region from a top of a radio frame to a predetermined OFDM symbol and in a second control region that is frequency-divided with a data region in a region that is time-divided with the first control region, and also allocates decoding control information that indicates a user terminal to perform a decoding process for the second control region, in the first control region; and a transmission section that transmits the downlink control information and the decoding control information; and a user terminal having: a receiving section that receives the downlink control information and the decoding control information from the radio base station apparatus; and a decoding section that controls the decoding process for the second control region based on the decoding control information received, are provided.
