Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a device for receiving a downlink control signal in a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a device and a method for receiving control information, the method comprising the following steps: receiving a subframe which includes two slots; executing a blind decoding for a first control channel in the control channel search region within a first slot; decoding a second control channel using a specific resource within a second slot when the first control channel has been detected; and executing a blind decoding for the second control channel in the control channel search region within the second slot when the first control channel has not been detected.

Claims (28)

1. A method for receiving downlink control information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a subframe including a first slot and a second slot;

detecting a downlink grant including resource allocation bits in the first slot of a resource unit, each bit of the resource allocation bits corresponding to a respective resource unit;

blind decoding a uplink grant in the second slot of the resource unit, if a bit of the resource allocation bits corresponding to the resource unit is set to ‘0’; and

omitting blind decoding for the uplink grant in the second slot of the resource unit, if the bit of the resource allocation bits corresponding to the resource unit is set to ‘1’.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the resource unit includes a resource block pair.

3. A communication apparatus for receiving downlink control information in a wireless communication system, the communication apparatus comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit; and

a microprocessor configured to

receive a subframe including a first slot and a second slot,

detect a downlink grant including resource allocation bits in the first slot of a resource unit, each bit of the resource allocation bits corresponding to a respective resource unit,

blind decode a uplink grant in the second slot of the resource unit, if a bit of the resource allocation bits corresponding to the resource unit is set to ‘0’, and

omit blind decoding for the uplink grant in the second slot of the resource unit, if the bit of the resource allocation bits corresponding to the resource unit is set to ‘1’.

4. The communication apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the resource unit includes a resource block pair.

5. A method for transmitting downlink control information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

assigning a downlink grant including resource allocation bits in a first slot of a resource unit, each bit of the resource allocation bits corresponding to a respective resource unit; and

transmitting a subframe including the first slot and a second slot,

wherein the second slot of the resource unit is used as being a potential resource for assignment of a uplink grant, if a bit of the resource allocation bits corresponding to the resource unit is set to ‘0’, and

wherein the second slot of the resource unit is not used for assignment of the uplink grant, if a bit of the resource allocation bits corresponding to the resource unit is set to ‘1’.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the resource unit includes a resource block pair.

7. A communication apparatus for transmitting downlink control information in a wireless communication system, the communication apparatus comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to

assign a downlink grant including resource allocation bits in a first slot of a resource unit, each bit of the resource allocation bits corresponding to a respective resource unit, and

transmit a subframe including the first slot and a second slot,

wherein the second slot of the resource unit is used as being a potential resource for assignment of a uplink grant, if a bit of the resource allocation bits corresponding to the resource unit is set to ‘0’, and

wherein the second slot of the resource unit is not used for assignment of the uplink grant, if a bit of the resource allocation bits corresponding to the resource unit is set to ‘1’.

8. The communication apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the resource unit includes a resource block pair.
