Abstract

A method for detecting control information in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes checking a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error by monitoring control channels, determining whether a value of an error check field is equal to a specific value, and, if the value of the error check field is equal to a specific value, detecting the control information on the control channel.

Claims (27)

1. A method for detecting control information in a wireless communication system using a downlink slot comprising a plurality of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, the method comprising:

monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and de-masking cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits included in the PDCCH by using a user equipment identifier (UE-ID);

checking a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error of the de-masked CRC bits; and

if the CRC error is not detected, determining whether to activate semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) based on a new data indicator (NDI) and control bits for a cyclic shift for DeModulation Reference Signal (DM RS), wherein the NDI is an 1-bit information field included in downlink control information (DCI) on the PDCCH, wherein the control bits for the cyclic shift for the DM RS are included in the DCI on the PDCCH, wherein the SPS is activated if the NDI is equal to zero and at least one predefined bit of the control bits for the cyclic shift for the DM RS is equal to zero.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cyclic shift for the DM RS is a 3-bit information field.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the SPS is activated if the NDI is equal to zero and the control bits for the cyclic shift for the DM RS is set to ‘000’.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is DCI format 0, which is used for scheduling of the PUSCH.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE-ID is a semi-persistent cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).

6. A user equipment in a wireless communication system using a downlink slot comprising a plurality of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

a processor coupled with the RF unit and configured to:

monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), de-mask cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits included in the PDCCH by using a user equipment identifier (UE-ID);

check a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error of the de-masked CRC bits;

if the CRC error is not detected, determining whether to activate semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) based on a new data indicator (NDI) and control bits for a cyclic shift for DeModulation Reference Signal (DM RS), wherein the NDI is an 1-bit information field included in downlink control information (DCI) on the PDCCH, wherein the control bits for the cyclic shift for the DM RS are included in the DCI on the PDCCH, wherein the SPS is activated if the NDI is equal to zero and at least one predefined bit of the control bits for the cyclic shift for the DM RS is equal to zero.

7. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the cyclic shift for the DM RS is a 3-bit information field.

8. The user equipment of claim 7 , wherein the SPS is activated if the NDI is equal to zero and the control bits for the cyclic shift for the DM RS is set to ‘000’.

9. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the DCI is DCI format 0, which is used for scheduling of the PUSCH.

10. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the UE-ID is a semi-persistent cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).

11. A user equipment in a wireless communication system using a downlink slot comprising a plurality of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

a processor coupled with the RF unit and configured to:

monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), de-mask cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits included in the PDCCH by using a user equipment identifier (UE-ID);

check a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error of the de-masked CRC bits;

if the CRC error is not detected, and downlink control information (DCI) on the PDCCH is DCI format 0 used for scheduling of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), determine whether to activate semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) based on a new data indicator (NDI) and control bits for a cyclic shift for DeModulation Reference Signal (DM RS), wherein the NDI is an 1-bit information field included in the DCI, wherein the control bits for the cyclic shift for DM RS are included in the DCI, wherein the SPS is activated if the NDI is equal to zero and at least one predefined bit of the control bits for the cyclic shift for the DM RS is equal to zero.

12. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the cyclic shift for the DM RS is a 3-bit information field.

13. The user equipment of claim 12 , wherein the SPS is activated if the NDI is equal to zero and the control bits for the cyclic shift for the DM RS is set to ‘000’.

14. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the UE-ID is a semi-persistent cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).
