Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method in which a terminal receives control information in a wireless communication system, said method comprising: a step of performing blind decoding in at least one portion of a resource region except the time unit indicated by a physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH) on a subframe, said at least one portion of the resource region is determined by whether a synchronizing signal or system information is transmitted or not.

Claims (29)

1. A method for receiving control information through an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH), by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

performing blind decoding of a resource region comprising one or more EPDCCH candidates; and

receiving control information through the one or more EPDCCH candidates,

wherein the resource region is determined according to whether a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) or a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) is transmitted in a subframe,

wherein when the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH are all transmitted in the subframe, the resource region is determined as a first resource region excluding 6resource blocks (RBs) from subframes that are located at a center part of a first slot and a second slot of the subframe, and

wherein when the PSS and the SSS are transmitted in the subframe and the PBCH is not transmitted in the subframe, the resource region is determined as a second resource region excluding 6 RBs from the subframes that are located at a center part of the first slot of the subframe.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a frequency domain on which either the PBCH, the PSS or the SSS is transmitted corresponds to 6 RBs located at a center part of an entire frequency bandwidth.

3. A method for transmitting control information through an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH), by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting control information through a resource region comprising one or more EPDCCH candidates,

wherein the resource region is determined according to whether a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) or a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) is transmitted in a subframe,

wherein when the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH are all transmitted in the subframe, the resource region is determined as a first resource region excluding 6resource blocks (RBs) from subframes that are located at a center part of a first slot and a second slot of the subframe, and

wherein when the PSS and the SSS are transmitted in the subframe and the PBCH is not transmitted in the subframe, the resource region is determined as a second resource region excluding 6 RBs from the subframes that are located at a center part of the first slot of the subframe.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a frequency domain on which either the PBCH, the PSS or the SSS is transmitted corresponds to 6 RBs located at a center part of an entire frequency bandwidth.

5. A user equipment (UE) device operating in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a reception module configured to receive information; and

a processor configured to:

perform blind decoding of a resource region comprising one or more enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) candidates; and

control the reception module to receive control information through the one or more EPDCCH candidates,

wherein the resource region is determined according to whether a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) or a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) is transmitted in a subframe,

wherein when the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH are all transmitted in the subframe, the resource region is determined as a first resource region excluding 6resource blocks (RBs) from the subframes that are located at a center part of a first slot and a second slot of the subframe, and

wherein when the PSS and the SSS are transmitted in the subframe and the PBCH is not transmitted in the subframe, the resource region is determined as a second resource region excluding 6 RBs from the subframes that are located at a center part of the first slot of the subframe.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein a frequency domain on which either the PBCH, the PSS or the SSS is transmitted corresponds to 6 RBs located at a center part of an entire frequency bandwidth.

7. A base station (BS) operating in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a transmission module configured to transmit information; and

a processor configured to control the transmission module to transmit control information through a resource region comprising one or more enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) candidates,

wherein the resource region is determined according to whether a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) or a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) is transmitted in a subframe,

wherein when the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH are all transmitted in the subframe, the resource region is determined as a first resource region excluding 6resource blocks (RBs) from subframes that are located at a center part of a first slot and a second slot of the subframe, and

wherein when the PSS and the SSS are transmitted in the subframe and the PBCH is not transmitted in the subframe, the resource region is determined as a second resource region excluding 6 RBs from the subframes that are located at a center part of the first slot of the subframe.

8. The BS of claim 7 , wherein a frequency domain on which either the PBCH, the PSS or the SSS is transmitted corresponds to 6 RBs located at a center part of an entire frequency bandwidth.
