SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING CONTROL INFORMATION

摘要

A system and method for transmitting control information are provided. A method for communications controller operations includes combining control data (205) for each relay node (110) of at least one relay node into a control channel data stream, mapping a plurality of transmission resources for the control channel data stream (PDCCH) into a plurality of physical resource blocks (RBs) using a distributed virtual resource mapping rule, and transmitting the plurality of physical resource blocks (RBs) to the set of at least one relay node (110). The plurality of transmission resources are mapped to physical resource blocks that are non-contiguous in a frequency domain.
