specific condition i)—two of E-PDCCH sets are scrambled with a same sequence,
specific condition ii)—the UE is configured to monitor E-PDCCH candidates that are included in the two E-PDCCH sets and that have a same attribute,
specific condition iii)—the E-PDCCH candidates are mapped to a same physical resource.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the E-PDCCH candidates having the same attribute include E-PDCCH candidates having a same downlink control information (DCI) payload size.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the E-PDCCH candidates having the same attribute include E-PDCCH candidates having a same radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the RNTI includes a cell-RNTI (C-RNTI) or a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) C-RNTI.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each E-PDCCH set includes one or more physical resource blocks (PRBs) and the plurality of resource units includes a plurality of enhanced control channel elements (eCCEs).
6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) signal indicated by the E-PDCCH signal,
wherein the HARQ response includes acknowledgement information for the PDSCH signal.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the E-PDCCH signal includes information indicating SPS release, the HARQ response includes acknowledgement information for the E-PDCCH signal.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of resource units are resource units of a second region of two regions of a subframe, and specific condition iii) comprises the E-PDCCH candidates are mapped to a same physical resource in the second region.
9. A UE configured to transmit a HARQ response in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit; and
a processor operatively connected to the RF unit and configured to:
receive an enhanced physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) signal corresponding to one E-PDDCH set of two E-PDCCH sets configured for the UE, each E-PDCCH set including a plurality of resource units and having a unique E-PDCCH set index; and
transmit the HARQ response using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource determined by the UE based on a specific index of one resource unit of the plurality of resource units that exists in each of the two E-PDCCH sets,
wherein the specific index is a resource unit index for the one resource unit that exists within one of the two E-PDCCH sets having a lowest E-PDCCH set index when each of specific condition i), specific condition ii) and specific condition iii) described below is satisfied:
specific condition i)—two of E-PDCCH sets are scrambled with a same sequence,
specific condition ii)—the UE is configured to monitor E-PDCCH candidates that are included in the two E-PDCCH sets and that have a same attribute,
specific condition iii)—the E-PDCCH candidates are mapped to a same physical resource.
10. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein the E-PDCCH candidates having the same attribute include E-PDCCH candidates having a same DCI payload size.
11. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein the E-PDCCH candidates having the same attribute include E-PDCCH candidates having a same RNTI.
12. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the RNTI includes a C-RNTI or an SPS C-RNTI.
