Abstract

A base station is disclosed, including an information size adjusting section configured to adjust a size of control information based on a first basic information size of control information mapped on a user equipment (UE) specific search space in a first component carrier. The base station also includes a transmitter configured to transmit the control information mapped on the UE specific search space. A first determination method for determining the first basic information size is different from a second determination method for determining a second basic information size of control information mapped on a common search space in the first component carrier. The first determination method for determining the first basic information size is different from a third determination method for determining a third basic information size of control information mapped on a search space in a second component carrier that is different from the first component carrier.

Claims (29)

1. A base station, comprising:

an information size adjusting section configured to adjust a size of control information based on a first basic information size of control information mapped on a user equipment (UE) specific search space in a first component carrier; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the control information mapped on the UE specific search space,

wherein a first determination method for determining the first basic information size is different from a second determination method for determining a second basic information size of control information mapped on a common search space in the first component carrier, and

the first determination method for determining the first basic information size is different from a third determination method for determining a third basic information size of control information mapped on a search space in a second component carrier that is different from the first component carrier.

2. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the third basic information size is determined according to a larger one of a first information size determined from a downlink bandwidth of the second component carrier and a second information size determined from an uplink bandwidth of an uplink component carrier.

3. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the first basic information size is determined according to an information size determined from a bandwidth of the first component carrier.

4. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein a number of one or more uplink component carrier(s) assigned to the UE is less than a number of two or more downlink component carriers assigned to the UE.

5. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein a number of one or more uplink component carrier(s) and a number of one or more downlink component carrier(s) assigned to each user equipment are asymmetric.

6. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the first component carrier is a component carrier other than a basic component carrier.

7. The base station according to claim 6 , wherein the basic component carrier is arbitrarily assigned to each user equipment, and the first basic information size for blind decoding in the first component carrier is independently set for each user equipment.

8. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the first component carrier is a component carrier in which uplink allocation information is absent.

9. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein when a number of one or more uplink component carrier(s) assigned to the UE is less than a number of two or more downlink component carriers assigned to the UE, the control information mapped on the common search space is transmitted only in a portion of the two or more downlink component carriers.

10. The base station according to claim 9 , wherein the portion of the two or more downlink component carriers is a basic component carrier.

11. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein when a number of one or more uplink component carrier(s) assigned to the UE is less than a number of two or more downlink component carriers assigned to the UE, uplink allocation information is transmitted only in a portion of the two or more downlink component carriers.

12. The base station according to claim 11 , wherein the portion of the two or more downlink component carriers is a basic component carrier.

13. A base station, comprising:

an information size adjusting section configured to adjust a size of control information based on a first basic information size of control information mapped on a user equipment (UE) specific search space in a first component carrier, the first basic information size of the control information mapped on the UE specific search space being different from a second basic information size of control information mapped on a common search space in the first component carrier; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the control information mapped on the UE specific search space,

wherein when uplink allocation information is absent in the first component carrier, the first basic information size is determined according to an information size determined from a downlink bandwidth of the first component carrier.

14. A physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission method performed by a transmission apparatus, comprising:

adjusting a size of control information based on a first basic information size of control information mapped on a user equipment (UE) specific search space in a first component carrier, the first basic information size of the control information mapped on the UE specific search space being different from a second basic information size of control information mapped on a common search space in the first component carrier; and

transmitting the control information mapped on the UE specific search space,

wherein when uplink allocation information is absent in the first component carrier, the first basic information size is determined according to an information size determined from a downlink bandwidth of the first component carrier.

15. A physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission method performed by a transmission apparatus, comprising:

adjusting a size of control information based on a first basic information size of control information mapped on a UE specific search space in a first component carrier; and

transmitting the control information mapped on the UE specific search space,

wherein a first determination method for determining the first basic information size is different from a second determination method for determining a second basic information size of control information mapped on a common search space in the first component carrier, and

the first determination method for determining the first basic information size is different from a third determination method for determining a third basic information size of control information mapped on a search space in a second component carrier that is different from the first component carrier.
