Abstract

In a mobile communication system in which an space of a physical downlink control channel for a mobile station apparatus to search is defined based on a mobile station identity assigned from a base station apparatus, the base station apparatus places a physical downlink control channel including a first mobile station identity or a physical downlink control channel including a second mobile station identity in a search space of a physical downlink control channel corresponding to the first mobile station identity when the base station apparatus assigns a plurality of mobile station identities to the mobile station apparatus, and when a plurality of mobile station identities is assigned from the base station apparatus, the mobile station apparatus performs decoding processing of the physical downlink control channel including the first mobile station identity and the physical downlink control channel including the second mobile station identity in the search space of the physical downlink control channel corresponding to the first mobile station identity.

Claims (38)

1. A mobile station apparatus which searches a physical downlink control channel transmitted by a base station apparatus in a search space, the mobile station apparatus comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive the physical downlink control channel in the search space; and

a decoding unit which performs decoding processing, in the search space, of a first physical downlink control channel including a first mobile station identity and a second physical downlink control channel including a second mobile station identity, the search space is defined based on the first mobile station identity, in a case that the mobile station apparatus has the first mobile station identity and the second mobile station identity, wherein

the second mobile station identity is assigned for a different purpose from that of the first mobile station identity, and

the first mobile station identity is C-RNTI, and the second mobile station identity is C-RNTI for persistent scheduling.

2. A mobile communication system in which a mobile station apparatus searches a physical downlink control channel transmitted by a base station apparatus in a search space, the mobile communication system comprising:

the base station apparatus which transmits to the mobile station apparatus, in the search space, a first physical downlink control channel including a first mobile station identity or a second physical downlink control channel including a second mobile station identity, the search space is defined based on the first mobile station identity, in a case that the mobile station apparatus has the first mobile station identity and the second mobile station identity, and

the mobile station apparatus which performs decoding processing, in the search space, of the first physical downlink control channel including the first mobile station identity and the second physical downlink control channel including the second mobile station identity, the search space is defined based on the first mobile station identity, in a case that the mobile station apparatus has the first mobile station identity and the second mobile station identity, wherein

the second mobile station identity is assigned for a different purpose from that of the first mobile station identity, and

the first mobile station identity is C-RNTI, and the second mobile station identity is C-RNTI for persistent scheduling.

3. A processing method in a mobile station apparatus which searches a physical downlink control channel transmitted by a base station apparatus in a search space, the processing method comprising:

performing decoding processing, in the search space, of a first physical downlink control channel including a first mobile station identity and a second physical downlink control channel including a second mobile station identity, the search space is defined based on the first mobile station identity, in a case that the mobile station apparatus has the first mobile station identity and the second mobile station identity, wherein

the second mobile station identity is assigned for a different purpose from that of the first mobile station identity, and

the first mobile station identity is C-RNTI, and the second mobile station identity is C-RNTI for persistent scheduling.

4. A base station apparatus which transmits, to a mobile station apparatus, a physical downlink control channel in a search space, the base station apparatus comprising:

a transmitting unit configured to transmit the physical downlink control channel in the search space; and

a scheduling unit which transmits to the mobile station apparatus, in the search space, a first physical downlink control channel including a first mobile station identity or a second physical downlink control channel including a second mobile station identity, the search space is defined based on the first mobile station identity, in a case that the mobile station apparatus has the first mobile, station identity and the second mobile station identity, wherein

the second mobile station identity is assigned for a different purpose from that of the first mobile station identity, and

the first mobile station identity is C-RNTI, and the second mobile station identity is C-RNTI for persistent scheduling.

5. A mobile station apparatus which searches a physical downlink control channel transmitted by a base station apparatus in a search space, the mobile station apparatus comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive the physical downlink control channel in the search space; and

a decoding unit which performs decoding processing, in the search space, of a first physical downlink control channel including a first mobile station identity and a second physical downlink control channel including a second mobile station identity, the search space is defined based on the first mobile station identity, in a case that the mobile station apparatus has the first mobile station identity and the second mobile station identity, wherein

the second mobile station identity is assigned for a different purpose from that of the first mobile station identity, and

the first mobile station identity is C-RNTI, and the second mobile station identity is C-RNTI for periodic channel state reporting.

6. A mobile communication system in which a mobile station apparatus searches a physical downlink control channel transmitted by a base station apparatus in a search space, the mobile communication system comprising:

the base station apparatus which transmits to the mobile station apparatus, in the search space, a first physical downlink control channel including a first mobile station identity or a second physical downlink control channel including a second mobile station identity, the search space is defined based on the first mobile station identity, in a case that the mobile station apparatus has the first mobile station identity and the second mobile station identity, and

the mobile station apparatus which performs decoding processing, in the search space, of the first physical downlink control channel including the first mobile station identity and the second physical downlink control channel including the second mobile station identity, the search space is defined based on the first mobile station identity, in a case that the mobile station apparatus has the first mobile station identity and the second mobile station identity, wherein

the second mobile station identity is assigned for a different purpose from that of the first mobile station identity, and

the first mobile station identity is C-RNTI, and the second mobile station identity is C-RNTI for periodic channel state reporting.

7. A processing method in a mobile station apparatus which searches a physical downlink control channel transmitted by a base station apparatus in a search space, the processing method comprising:

performing decoding processing, in the search space, of a first physical downlink control channel including a first mobile station identity and a second physical downlink control channel including a second mobile station identity, the search space is defined based on the first mobile station identity, in a case that the mobile station apparatus has the first mobile station identity and the second mobile station identity, wherein

the second mobile station identity is assigned for a different purpose from that of the first mobile station identity, and

the first mobile station identity is C-RNTI, and the second mobile station identity is C-RNTI for periodic channel state reporting.

8. A base station apparatus which transmits, to a mobile station apparatus, a physical downlink control channel in a search space, the base station apparatus comprising:
