A method is described for receiving a downlink control information (DCI) from a base station (BS) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method includes monitoring a plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates having the same payload size in a common search space and a UE-specific search space on a primary cell to receive the DCI. The common search space and the UE-specific search space are overlapped. If the UE is configured with a carrier indicator field (CIF), the method further includes determining that only a PDCCH in the common search space is transmitted from among the plurality of PDCCH candidates.
