Abstract

A method and apparatus of detecting resource assignment information by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The UE detects a number of Assignment Advanced-MAP (A-A-MAP) groups and a number of a plurality of A-A-MAP Information Elements (IEs) included in each of the A-A-MAP groups, extracts type and flag of each of the plurality of A-A-MAP IEs; and performs blind detection of resource assignment information on the basis of the type and flag of each of the A-A-MAP IEs.

Claims (21)

1. A method for a user equipment to detect resource assignment information in a wireless communication system, the method comprises:

detecting, at the user equipment, a number of Assignment Advanced-MAP (A-A-MAP) groups and a number of a plurality of A-A-MAP Information Elements (IEs) included in each of the A-A-MAP groups;

extracting a type and flag of each of the plurality of A-A-MAP IEs; and

performing blind detection of resource assignment information on the basis of the type and flag of each of the A-A-MAP IEs,

wherein performing the blind detection of the resource assignment information comprises determining whether a first A-A-MAP IE is a last A-A-MAP IE of an A-A-MAP group to which the first A-A-MAP IE belongs.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the blind detection of the resource assignment information comprises performing the blind detection of resource assignment information on the basis of a type and flag of the first A-A-MAP IE and a type and flag of a second A-A-MAP anterior to the first A-A-MAP IE, in case where the first A-A-MAP IE is the last A-A-MAP IE of the A-A-MAP group.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein in case where the type of the first A-A-MAP IE is identical with the type of the second A-A-MAP IE, the first A-A-MAP IE is a consecutive and separated A-A-MAP IE, and the flag of the first A-A-MAP IE is 0, the blind detection of the resource assignment information is performed by combining the first A-A-MAP IE and the second A-A-MAP IE.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein in case where the first A-A-MAP IE is not the last A-A-MAP IE of the A-A-MAP group, the blind detection of the resource assignment information is performed on the basis of the type and flag of the first A-A-MAP IE and a type and flag of a third A-A-MAP IE posterior to the first A-A-MAP IE.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein in case where the type of the first A-A-MAP IE is identical with the type of the third A-A-MAP IE, the first A-A-MAP IE is not a consecutive and separated A-A-MAP IE, the flag of the first A-A-MAP IE is 1, and the flag of the third A-A-MAP IE is 0, the blind detection of the resource assignment information is performed by combining the first A-A-MAP IE and the third A-A-MAP IE.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein in case where the type of the first A-A-MAP IE is identical with the type of the third A-A-MAP IE, the first A-A-MAP IE is a consecutive and separated A-A-MAP IE, the flag of the first A-A-MAP IE is 0, and the flag of the third A-A-MAP IE is 0, the blind detection of the resource assignment information is performed by combining the first A-A-MAP IE and the third A-A-MAP IE.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein in case where the type of the first A-A-MAP IE is not identical with the type of the third A-A-MAP IE, the first A-A-MAP IE is a consecutive and separated A-A-MAP IE, and the flag of the first A-A-MAP IE is 0, the blind detection of the resource assignment information is performed by combining the first A-A-MAP IE and the third A-A-MAP IE.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein information about the number of A-A-MAP groups and the plurality of A-A-MAP IEs included in each of the A-A-MAP groups is transmitted through a non-user-specific A-A-MAP IE.

9. An apparatus for detecting resource assignment information, comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit or receive a radio signal; and

a processor, connected to the RF unit, and configured to:

detect a number a number of Assignment Advanced-MAP (A-A-MAP) groups and a number of a plurality of A-A-MAP Information Elements (IEs) included in each of the A-A-MAP groups;

extract a type and flag of each of the plurality of A-A-MAP IEs; and

perform blind detection of resource assignment information on the basis of the type and flag of each of the A-A-MAP IEs,

wherein the processor further performs the blind detection of the resource assignment information by determining whether a first A-A-MAP IE is a last A-A-MAP IE of an A-A-MAP group to which the first A-A-MAP IE belongs.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein in case where the first A-A-MAP IE is the last A-A-MAP IE of the A-A-MAP group, the processor further performs the blind detection of the resource assignment information on the basis of a type and flag of the first A-A-MAP IE and a type and flag of a second A-A-MAP anterior to the first A-A-MAP IE.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein in case where the first A-A-MAP IE is not the last A-A-MAP IE of the A-A-MAP group, the processor further perform the blind detection of the resource assignment information on the basis of the type and flag of the first A-A-MAP IE and a type and flag of a third A-A-MAP IE posterior to the first A-A-MAP IE.
