Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and more specifically relates to a method and device for transmitting information. A wireless communication system can support carrier aggregation (CA). In one aspect of the present invention, a method, in which a terminal receives information from a base station in a wireless communication, comprises the steps of: receiving, from the base station, first information on the transmission method of a first channel; receiving the receiving the first channel, from the base station, via at least one serving cell formed in the terminal; and carrying out decoding on the first channel in accordance with the first information. Therein, the first channel is an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH), and the terminal is capable of not carrying out decoding on the first channel in a frequency region in a present subframe.

Claims (39)

1. A method of receiving a downlink control channel by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS) via radio resource (RRC) signaling, enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) frequency resource configuration; and

performing blind decoding for receiving the ePDCCH based on the ePDCCH frequency configuration,

wherein the ePDCCH frequency resource configuration includes first information indicating a number of resource blocks (RBs) for the ePDCCH and second information indicating a RB index for the ePDCCH, and

wherein when at least part of the RBs for the ePDCCH overlaps in frequency with a transmission of a predetermined signal in a same subframe, blind decoding for a corresponding ePDCCH is not performed in the same subframe.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined signal is a broadcast signal having a fixed location in the same subframe.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined signal comprises at least one of a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), a primary synchronization signal (PSS), or a second synchronization signal (SSS).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein blind decoding for a PDCCH other than the ePDCCH is performed in the same subframe in which the at least part of the RBs for the ePDCCH overlaps in frequency with the transmission of either the PBCH, the PSS, or the SSS.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the BS via RRC signaling, ePDCCH time resource configuration including a subframe pattern indicating whether a corresponding subframe is capable of carrying the ePDCCH or not.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the blind decoding for receiving the ePDCCH performed in subframes capable of carrying the ePDCCH.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

when a start orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol information is configured via RRC signaling, the ePDCCH starts from a OFDM symbol indicated by the start OFDM symbol information, and

when the start OFDM symbol information is not configured via RRC signaling, the ePDCCH starts from a OFDM symbol determined by a physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH).

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium recorded thereon a program for executing the method of claim 1 .

9. A method of transmitting a downlink control channel by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) via radio resource (RRC) signaling, enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) frequency resource configuration; and

transmitting, to the UE, the ePDCCH based on the ePDCCH frequency configuration,

wherein the ePDCCH frequency resource configuration includes first information indicating a number of resource blocks (RBs) for the ePDCCH and second information indicating a RB index for the ePDCCH, and

wherein when at least part of the RBs for the ePDCCH overlaps in frequency with a transmission of a predetermined signal in a same subframe, a corresponding ePDCCH is not transmitted in the same subframe.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined signal is a broadcast signal having a fixed location in the same subframe.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined signal comprises at least one of a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), a primary synchronization signal (PSS), or a second synchronization signal (SSS).

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein blind decoding for a PDCCH other than the ePDCCH is performed in the same subframe in which the at least part of the RBs for the ePDCCH overlaps in frequency with the transmission of either the PBCH, the PSS, or the SSS.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE via RRC signaling, ePDCCH time resource configuration including a subframe pattern indicating whether a corresponding subframe is capable of carrying the ePDCCH or not.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein:

when a start orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol information is configured via RRC signaling, the ePDCCH starts from a OFDM symbol indicated by the start OFDM symbol information, and

when the start OFDM symbol information is not configured via RRC signaling, the ePDCCH starts from a OFDM symbol determined by a physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH).

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium recorded thereon a program for executing the method of claim 9 .

16. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a receiver configured to receive, from a base station (BS) via radio resource (RRC) signaling, enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) frequency resource configuration; and

a processor configured to perform blind decoding for receiving the ePDCCH based on the ePDCCH frequency configuration,

wherein the ePDCCH frequency resource configuration includes first information indicating a number of resource blocks (RBs) for the ePDCCH and second information indicating a RB index for the ePDCCH, and

wherein when at least part of the RBs for the ePDCCH overlaps in frequency with a transmission of a predetermined signal in a same subframe, blind decoding for a corresponding ePDCCH is not performed in the same subframe.

17. A base station (BS) comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit, to a user equipment (UE) via radio resource (RRC) signaling, enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) frequency resource configuration, and to transmit, to the UE, the ePDCCH based on the ePDCCH frequency configuration; and

a processor configured to control the transmitter,

wherein the ePDCCH frequency resource configuration includes first information indicating a number of resource blocks (RBs) for the ePDCCH and second information indicating a RB index for the ePDCCH, and

wherein when at least part of the RBs for the ePDCCH overlaps in frequency with a transmission of a predetermined signal in a same subframe, a corresponding ePDCCH is not transmitted in the same subframe.
