Abstract

A base station device that communicates with a mobile station device is provided. The base station device uses a physical broadcast channel to transmit information instructing the mobile station device to monitor a common search space or an enhanced common search space for a physical downlink channel.

Claims (36)

1. A mobile station device comprising:

reception circuitry configured to and/or programmed to receive first system information indicating a carrier type; and

decoding circuitry configured to and/or programmed to monitor a common search space for a control channel, wherein

OFDM symbols for the control channel are given by the first system information indicating the carrier type,

in a case that the first system information indicating the carrier type is set to a first value, positions of the OFDM symbols for the control channel are predefined positions in a subframe, and

in a case that the first system information indicating the carrier type is set to a second value, the positions of the OFDM symbols for the control channel are given by received second information.

2. The mobile station device according to claim 1 :

the first system information indicates either one of a first carrier type and a second carrier type, and

a set of first signals is transmitted in a first downlink carrier of the first carrier type and not transmitted in a second downlink carrier of the second carrier type.

3. A base station device comprising:

transmission circuitry configured to and/or programmed to transmit first system information indicating a carrier type; and

encoding circuitry configured to and/or programmed to encode a control channel, wherein

the transmission circuitry is configured to and/or programmed to transmit the control channel on a common search space,

OFDM symbols for the control channel are given by the first system information indicating the carrier type,

in a case that the first system information indicating the carrier type is set to a first value, positions of the OFDM symbols for the control channel are predefined positions in a subframe, and

in a case that the first system information indicating the carrier type is set to a second value, the positions of the OFDM symbols for the control channel are given by received second information.

4. The base station device according to claim 3 :

the first system information indicates either one of a first carrier type and a second carrier type, and

a set of first signals is transmitted in a first downlink carrier of the first carrier type and not transmitted in a second downlink carrier of the second carrier type.

5. A communication method used for a mobile station device comprising:

receiving a first system information indicating a carrier type;

determining OFDM symbols for a control channel based on the first system information indicating the carrier type; and

monitoring a common search space for a control channel, wherein

in a case that the first system information indicating the carrier type is set to a first value, positions of the OFDM symbols for the control channel are predefined positions in a subframe,

in a case that the first system information indicating the carrier type is set to a second value, the positions of the OFDM symbols for the control channel are given by received second information,

the receiving step uses reception circuitry configured to and/or programmed to receive the first system information indicating the carrier type, and

the determining step uses decoding circuitry configured to and/or programmed to monitor the common search space for the control channel.

6. A communication method used for a base station device comprising:

transmitting a first system information indicating a carrier type,

determining OFDM symbols for a control channel based on the first system information indicating the carrier type,

encoding the control channel, and

transmitting the control channel on a common search space, wherein

in a case that the first system information indicating the carrier type is set to a first value, positions of the OFDM symbols for the control channel are predefined positions in a subframe,

in a case that the first system information indicating the carrier type is set to a second value, the positions of the OFDM symbols for the control channel are given by received second information,

the transmitting the first system information indicating the carrier type step uses transmission circuitry, and

the determining step uses decoding circuitry configured to and/or programmed to monitor the common search space for the control channel.
