DYNAMIC CONTROL CHANNEL STRUCTURE FOR FLEXIBLE SPECTRUM USAGE

摘要

The present invention relates to methods, apparatuses, a system, and a computer program product for providing access to a control channel of a wireless access network. A reference point is set or defined in at least one of a time domain and frequency domain, and at least one control parameter is signaled from the wireless access network to a wireless terminal device, wherein the at least one control parameter defines a location of a control channel allocated to the wireless terminal device within a broadcast signal. The at least one control parameter can be used at the wireless terminal device to derive the location of the allocated control channel within a broadcast signal.
