Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for transceiving a downlink control channel. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method in which a base station transmits a downlink control channel to a terminal in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: transmitting one or more enhanced-physical downlink control channels (E-PDCCHs) within a resource region allocable for an E-PDCCH; and transmitting E-PDCCH allocation resource information for the one or more E-PDCCHs to the terminal. The E-PDCCH allocation resource information indicates the resource in which the one or more E-PDCCHs exist from among the resource region allocable to the E-PDCCH. An effective physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) allocation resource region for the terminal can be determined on the basis of the E-PDCCH allocation resource information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for transmitting a downlink control channel by a base station to a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting, by the base station, enhanced physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) allocation resource information, through a RRC (Radio Resource Control) message, indicating E-PDCCH resource regions in which one or more E-PDCCHs can be transmitted to the UE; transmitting, by the base station,…
