Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method used by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method includes: receiving a control channel transmitted from a base station with use of a control channel format selected from among a plurality of control channel formats, each including modulation scheme information, according to whether Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission is applied or not, and wherein a number of bits indicating a modulation scheme included in a control channel format to be selected when the MIMO transmission is applied is greater than that included in a control channel format to be selected when the MIMO transmission is not applied.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method used by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving a control channel transmitted from a base station with use of a control channel format selected from among a plurality of control channel formats, each including modulation scheme information, according to whether Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission is applied or not; and demodulating the received control channel according to the modulation scheme information indicated by the control channel format selected by the base station, wherein a number of bits indicating a modulation scheme included in a control channel format to be selected when the MIMO transmission is applied is greater than that include in a control channel format to be selected when the MIMO output transmission is not applied.
