METHOD FOR ASSIGNING NUMBER OF CONTROL CHANNEL CANDIDATES AND NUMBER OF BLIND DETECTION TIMES, BASE STATION, AND USER EQUIPMENT

摘要

Provided are an allocation method for a control channel candidate number and blind detection frequency, a base station and a user equipment. The method comprises: determining a first aggregation level set {L1i}, and determining the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to the aggregation levels in the aggregation level set {L1i}, {L1i} being formed by N aggregation levels supported by an EPDCCH, i being a positive integer, and the value range of i being from 1 to N; determining a second aggregation level set {L2j}, and determining the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to the aggregation levels in the aggregation level set {L2j}, {L2j} being formed by M aggregation levels supported by an EPDCCH to be detected, j being a positive integer, the value range of j being from 1 to M, {L2j} being a subset of {L1i}, M being smaller than or equal to N, and the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to L2j in {L2j} being greater than or equal to the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to L2j in {L1i}. In the embodiments of the present invention, the base station reallocates the number of EPDCCH candidates corresponding to aggregation levels not supported by the EPDCCH to be detected, thereby improving the utilization rate of the EPDCCH candidates.
