Abstract

A method and apparatus for transmitting or receiving a control channel in a communication system. A method for transmitting control information by a base station includes: configuring a control resource set including a plurality of REGs; interleaving, on a frequency axis, the plurality of REGs included in the control resource set; configuring an REG pool including at least two interleaved REGs; configuring at least one CCE in the REG pool; and transmitting control information through a search space configured by the at least one CCE. Therefore, the present invention improves performance of a communication system.

Claims (27)

1. An operation method of a user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the operation method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information of one or more control resource sets, each of the one or more control resource sets including resource element group (REG) pools, each of the REG pools corresponding to one search space in which a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring operation is performed, the each of the REG pools being a set of REGs, the REG pools including a first REG pool and a second REG pool included in same control resource set, and a first frequency region of the first REG pool being identical with a second frequency region of the second REG pool;

receiving, from the base station, information indicating a first start symbol of the first REG pool and a second start symbol of the second REG pool, the first start symbol and the second start symbol being different and belonging to a same slot;

receiving, from the base station, rate match information including an index of a first control resource set, to which a rate match operation is applied, among the one or more control resource sets;

performing the PDCCH monitoring operation in a search space corresponding to a REG pool belonging to a second control resource set among the one or more control resource sets;

obtaining, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including resource allocation information of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) by the PDCCH monitoring operation; and

obtaining the PDSCH by performing the rate match operation around the indicated first control resource set based on the rate match information,

wherein the configuration information includes an index of each of the one or more control resource sets.

2. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the first control resource set indicated by the rate match information is overlapped with resources of the PDSCH allocated by the DCI.

3. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes information on interleaving to REGs of the one or more control resource sets.

4. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the PDSCH is not received through the first control resource set.

5. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the PDSCH is mapped to resources except for the first control resource set indicated by the rate match information among resources of the PDSCH allocated by the DCI.

6. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the rate match information is received through a higher layer signaling.

7. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes information on frequency resources and time resources of each of the one or more control resource sets.

8. An operation method of a base station in a communication system, the operation method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information of one or more control resource sets, each of the one or more control resource sets including resource element group (REG) pools, each of the REG pools corresponding to one search space in which a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring operation is performed, the each of the REG pools being a set of REGs, the REG pools including a first REG pool and a second REG pool included in same control resource set, and a first frequency region of the first REG pool being identical with a second frequency region of the second REG pool;

transmitting, to the UE, information indicating a first start symbol of the first REG pool and a second start symbol of the second REG pool, the first start symbol and the second start symbol being different and belonging to a same slot;

transmitting, to the UE, rate match information including an index of a first control resource set, to which a rate match operation is applied, among the one or more control resource sets;

transmitting, to the UE, downlink control information (DCI) including resource allocation information of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a search space corresponding to a REG pool belonging to a second control resource set among the one or more control resource sets; and

transmitting, to the UE, the PDSCH by performing the rate match operation around the indicated first control resource set based on the rate match information,

wherein the configuration information includes an index of each of the one or more control resource sets.

9. The operation method of claim 8 , wherein the first control resource set indicated by the rate match information is overlapped with resources of the PDSCH allocated by the DCI.

10. The operation method of claim 8 , wherein the configuration information includes information on interleaving to REGs of the one or more control resource sets.

11. The operation method of claim 8 , wherein the PDSCH is not transmitted through the control resource set.

12. The operation method of claim 8 , wherein the PDSCH is mapped to resources except for the first control resource set indicated by the rate match information among resources of the PDSCH allocated by the DCI.

13. The operation method of claim 8 , wherein the rate match information is transmitted through a higher layer signaling.

14. The operation method of claim 8 , wherein the configuration information includes information on frequency resources and time resources of each of the one or more control resource sets.
