METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCING DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION TRANSMISSION

摘要

A method is provided for transmitting an extended physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH). The method comprises transmitting control information in at least one time-frequency resource unit that would otherwise be used to carry a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The E-PDCCH and at least one PDSCH are multiplexed in a transmission time interval. A first set of configuration of the E-PDCCH is semi-statically signaled and a second set of configuration of the E-PDCCH is dynamically signaled.
