Abstract

A method of obtaining control information on a terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes performing blind decoding for a joint DCI format including at least two DCI formats for at least two terminals including the terminal, wherein the size of the joint DCI format is determined depending on the kind of the at least two DCI formats, and the terminal further receives information for performing blind decoding on the DCI format for the terminal in the joint DCI format.

Claims (22)

1. A method of a user equipment for acquiring control information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by the user equipment, a joint downlink control information (DCI) format including a plurality of DCI formats,

wherein each of the plurality of DCI formats is associated with each of a plurality of user equipments, respectively;

receiving, by the user equipment, information indicating which DCI format is associated with the user equipment among the plurality of DCI formats included in the joint DCI format;

performing, by the user equipment, blind decoding for a corresponding DCI format indicated by the information among the plurality of DCI formats included in the joint DCI format; and

acquiring, by the user equipment, control information of the user equipment from the corresponding DCI format associated with the user equipment

wherein the joint DCI format comprises a plurality of regions having fixed sizes for each DCI format included in the plurality of DCI formats, and

wherein the information comprises an indication of an order of the corresponding DCI format associated with the user equipment as among the plurality of DCI formats.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information includes a number of the plurality of DCI formats, information on a position index of the corresponding DCI format associated with the user equipment among the plurality of DCI formats, and a starting point of the plurality of DCI formats.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information includes a number of plurality of DCI formats, information on a position index of the corresponding DCI format associated with the user equipment among the plurality of DCI formats, and a type of the plurality of DCI formats.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in case the plurality of DCI formats are different from one another, DCI format types being included in the joint DCI formats are limited to two types.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a cyclic redundancy check attached to the joint DCI format corresponds to a radio network temporary identifier shared by two or more user equipments.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of DCI formats are dependent on a transmission mode set up for the plurality of user equipments.

7. A user equipment for use in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a reception module configured to receive a joint downlink control information (DCI) format including a plurality of DCI formats,

wherein each of the plurality of DCI formats is associated with each of a plurality of user equipments, respectively,

the reception module is configured to receive information indicating which DCI format is associated with the user equipment among a plurality of DCI formats included in a joint DCI format; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to perform blind decoding for a corresponding DCI format indicated by the information among the plurality of DCI formats included in the joint DCI format; and to

acquire control information of the user equipment from the corresponding DCI format associated with the user equipment,

wherein the joint DCI format comprises a plurality of regions having fixed sizes for each DCI format included in the plurality of DCI formats, and

wherein the information comprises an indication of an order of the corresponding DCI format associated with the user equipment as among the plurality of DCI formats.
