Abstract

Provided are a method for monitoring downlink control information by user equipment in a wireless communication system and user equipment using the method. The method comprises: receiving “control channel candidate number information” indicating the number of control channel candidates for each aggregation level (AL) of a search space (SS) per cell; and in order to detect DCI, monitoring some initial control channel candidates among existing control channel candidates (legacy candidates), wherein the number of the initial control channel candidates is determined based on the control channel candidate number information.

Claims (23)

1. A method for transmitting capability information in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:

generating UE capability information informing a capability of the UE; and

transmitting the UE capability information to a base station (BS),

wherein whether the UE capability information includes blind decoding (BD) information informing a maximum number of blind decodes in one subframe supported by the UE is dependent on a number of component carriers supported by the UE,

wherein, based on the UE supporting a carrier aggregation with more than 5 component carriers, the UE capability information includes the BD information, and

wherein, based on the UE supporting a carrier aggregation with up to 5 component carriers, the UE capability information does not include the BD information.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a resource block and decoding information for decoding at least a portion of the resource block, the decoding information corresponding to the UE capability information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the BD information informs the maximum number of blind decodes in a UE-specific search space (USS) in the one subframe.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE capability information is transmitted through a radio resource control (RRC) message.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a maximum number of blind decodes in one subframe of a component carrier supported by the UE is smaller than or equal to 32.

6. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit capability information in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the transceiver and configured to:

generate UE capability information informing a capability of the UE; and

transmit the UE capability information to a base station (BS),

wherein whether the UE capability information includes blind decoding (BD) information informing a maximum number of blind decodes in one subframe supported by the UE is dependent on a number of component carriers supported by the UE,

wherein, based on the UE supporting a carrier aggregation with more than 5 component carriers, the UE capability information includes the BD information, and

wherein, based on the UE supporting a carrier aggregation with up to 5 component carriers, the UE capability information does not include the BD information.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive a resource block and decoding information for decoding at least a portion of the resource block, the decoding information corresponding to the UE capability information.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the BD information informs the maximum number of blind decodes in a UE-specific search space (USS) in the one subframe.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the UE capability information is transmitted through a radio resource control (RRC) message.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein a maximum number of blind decodes in one subframe of a component carrier supported by the UE is smaller than or equal to 32.
