A method and apparatus for control channel transmission and reception is provided herein. In particular, the use of a partitioned and structured control channel is provided that leverages the benefits of common control while maintaining favorable aspects of dedicated control. During operation, control information is distributed over a number of partitions ( 201 ). Each P<SUB>i </SUB>is encoded ( 607 ) with monotonically non-increasing reliability level. Control information for a given remote unit can be distributed on one or several partitions, from P<SUB>1 </SUB>to P<SUB>k</SUB>, where P<SUB>k </SUB>is encoded with the lowest reliability level that can be decodable by the remote unit at an acceptable error rate.
