Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus for receiving and transmitting downlink control information in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The method for receiving a downlink control signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes: receiving an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (EPDCCH) from a downlink serving base station (BS); and monitoring a plurality of EPDCCH candidates in an EPDCCH set contained in the received EPDCCH, wherein a minimum aggregation level (AL) of the EPDCCH candidates is associated with a downlink (DL) bandwidth of the wireless communication system and downlink control information (DCI) format.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for receiving a downlink control signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: monitoring a plurality of enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) candidates in an EPDCCH set to decode an EPDCCH transmitted from a downlink serving base station (BS); and receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) corresponding to the decoded EPDCCH, wherein the EPDCCH candidates have a minimum…
