Method for receiving downlink signal, and user device, and method for transmitting downlink signal, and base station
The present invention provides a method and a device for transmitting/receiving a control channel in a downlink subframe, which divides into a control area and a data area. The present invention enables the downlink control channel transmitted from the data area of a specific carrier wave to be configured to carry scheduling information on another carrier wave.
1. A method for receiving, by a user equipment configured with a plurality of cells, a downlink signal from a base station, the method comprising:
receiving a radio resource control signaling indicating a search space of a first subframe;
receiving the first subframe from a first cell of the plurality of cells,
wherein the first subframe includes a data region and a control region;
when a received quality of the data region in the first subframe is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold,
decoding a first downlink control channel from the control region of the first subframe, and
decoding a first downlink data channel of the data region in the first subframe based on the decoded first downlink control channel,
wherein the first downlink control channel includes downlink control information for the first downlink data channel; and
when the received quality of the data region in the first subframe is greater than the predetermined threshold,
decoding a second downlink control channel in the data region based on the indicated search space, and
receiving a second downlink data channel of a second subframe from a second cell of the plurality of cells based on the decoded second downlink channel,
wherein the second downlink control channel includes downlink control information for the second downlink data channel.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first subframe is other than a preconfigured subframe in which a downlink control channel is to be received in only a control region of the preconfigured subframe.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second downlink control channel is received on a set of resources aggregated at a first aggregation level, and the first downlink control channel is received on a set of resources aggregated at an aggregation level greater than the first aggregation level.
4. A user equipment, configured with a plurality of cells, for receiving a downlink signal from a base station, the user equipment comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit or receive a radio signal;
a processor operatively connected to the RF unit and configured to:
receive a radio resource control signaling indicating a search space of a first subframe,
receive the first subframe from a first cell of the plurality of cells,
wherein the first subframe includes a data region and a control region,
when a received quality of the data region in the first subframe is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold,
decode a first downlink control channel from the control region of the first subframe, and
decode a first downlink data channel of the data region in the first subframe based on the decoded first downlink control channel,
wherein the first downlink control channel includes downlink control information for the first downlink data channel; and
when the received quality of the data region in the first subframe is greater than the predetermined threshold,
decode a second downlink control channel in the data region based on the indicated search space, and
receive a second downlink data channel of a second subframe from a second cell of the plurality of cells based on the decoded second downlink channel,
wherein the second downlink control channel includes downlink control information for the second downlink data channel.
5. The user equipment according to claim 4 , wherein the first subframe is other than a preconfigured subframe in which a downlink control channel is to be received in only a control region of the preconfigured subframe.
6. The user equipment according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to: receive the second downlink control channel on a set of resources aggregated at a first aggregation level, and receive the first downlink control channel on a set of resources aggregated at an aggregation level greater than the first aggregation level.
