Abstract

A method for detecting control information in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes checking a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error by monitoring control channels, determining whether a value of an error check field is equal to a specific value, and, if the value of the error check field is equal to the specific value, detecting the control information on the control channel.

Claims (17)

1. A method for detecting control information in a wireless communication system using a downlink slot comprising a plurality of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, the method comprising:

monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and de-masking cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits included in the PDCCH by using a user equipment identifier (UE-ID);

checking a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error of the de-masked CRC bits; and

if the CRC error is not detected, determining whether to activate semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) based on a new data indicator (NDI) and control bits for modulation and coding scheme (MCS), wherein the NDI is a 1-bit information field included in downlink control information (DCI) on the PDCCH,

wherein the control bits for MCS are included in the DCI on the PDCCH, wherein the SPS is activated if the NDI is equal to zero and at least one predefined bit of the control bits for MCS is equal to zero.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE-ID is a semi-persistent cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activation of the semi-persistent scheduling is associated with a voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), and wherein resource allocation information is further received for the semi-persistent scheduling.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising receiving VoIP data on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) during a specific time interval by using the resource allocation information.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising transmitting VoIP data on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) during a specific time interval by using the resource allocation information.

6. A user equipment in a wireless communication system using a downlink slot comprising a plurality of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

a processor coupled with the RF unit and configured to:

monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), de-mask cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits included in the PDCCH by using a user equipment identifier (UE-ID);

check a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error of the de-masked CRC bits;

if the CRC error is not detected, determine whether to activate semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) based on a new data indicator (NDI) and control bits for modulation and coding scheme (MCS),

wherein the NDI is a 1-bit information field included in downlink control information (DCI) on the PDCCH,

wherein the control bits for MCS are included in the DCI on the PDCCH, wherein the SPS is activated if the NDI is equal to zero and at least one predefined bit of the control bits for MCS is equal to zero.
