In the present invention, a method for a base station transmitting a downlink channel is disclosed. More particularly, the method comprises the steps of: dividing each of one or more resources blocks, which are allocated for the downlink control channel, into a predetermined number of subsets; deciding the number of subsets that comprise a resource allocation basic unit for the downlink control channel, based on a start symbol and/or an end symbol of the downlink control channel; mapping a transmission resource on the downlink control channel as the resource allocation basic unit comprising the predetermined number of subsets; and transmitting the downlink control channel by using the transmission resource that is mapped.
