Abstract

Provided are a method whereby user equipment (UE) transmits capability information in a wireless communication system and UE using the method. The method comprises: generating UE capability information indicating the capability of the UE; and transmitting the UE capability information to a base station, wherein the UE capability information includes blind decoding (BD) capability information indicating the number of times the UE can perform BD on a downlink control channel in one subframe.

Claims (41)

1. A method for monitoring downlink control information (DCI) in a wireless communication system by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving the DCI in one or more resource blocks; and

monitoring a plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates to detect the DCI in the one or more resource blocks based on an aggregation level of a serving cell,

wherein, when PDCCH candidate information related to PDCCH candidate reduction is configured to the UE, the UE monitors PDCCH candidates based on the PDCCH candidate information among the plurality of PDCCH candidates.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH candidate information indicates a number of PDCCH candidates being less than or equal to the plurality of PDCCH candidates.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of PDCCH candidates have corresponding PDCCH candidate index numbers, and

wherein, when the PDCCH candidate information related to PDCCH candidate reduction is configured to the UE, the UE monitors a set of PDCCH candidates having lowest consecutive PDCCH index values.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the PDCCH candidate information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when the PDCCH candidate information is not configured to the UE, the monitoring includes attempting to decode all of the plurality of PDCCH candidates in order to detect the DCI.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting the DCI upon successfully decoding at least one of the number of the plurality of PDCCH candidates; and

receiving data based on the detected DCI.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH candidate information is a UE-specific PDCCH candidate information.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH candidate information comprises 2 bits.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH candidate information informs one value among values 0, 0.33, 0.66, and 1.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH candidate information is received through a higher layer signal.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the higher layer signal is a radio resource control (RRC) message.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE supports aggregation of more than 5 cells.

13. A user equipment (UE) for monitoring downlink control information (DCI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the transceiver and configured to:

receive the DCI in one or more resource blocks; and

monitor a plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates to detect the DCI in the one or more resource blocks based on an aggregation level of a serving cell,

wherein, when PDCCH candidate information related to PDCCH candidate reduction is configured to the UE, the UE monitors PDCCH candidates based on the PDCCH candidate information among the plurality of PDCCH candidates.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the PDCCH candidate information informs a number of PDCCH candidates being less than or equal to the plurality of PDCCH candidates.

15. The UE of claim 13 ,

wherein the plurality of PDCCH candidates have corresponding PDCCH candidate index numbers, and

wherein, when the PDCCH candidate information related to PDCCH candidate reduction is configured to the UE, the UE monitors a set of PDCCH candidates having lowest consecutive PDCCH index values.

16. The UE of claim 13 , the processor is further configured to receive the PDCCH candidate information.

17. The UE of claim 13 , wherein, when the PDCCH candidate information is not configured to the UE, the monitoring includes attempting to decode all of the plurality of PDCCH candidates in order to detect the DCI.

18. The UE of claim 13 , the processor is further configured to:

detect the DCI upon successfully decoding at least one of the number of the plurality of PDCCH candidates; and

receive data based on the detected DCI.

19. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the PDCCH candidate information is a UE-specific PDCCH candidate information.

20. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the PDCCH candidate information comprises 2 bits.

21. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the PDCCH candidate information informs one value among values 0, 0.33, 0.66, and 1.

22. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the PDCCH candidate information is received through a higher layer signal.

23. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the higher layer signal is a radio resource control (RRC) message.

24. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the UE supports aggregation of more than 5 cells.
