The method includes receiving configuration information comprising a bit-map corresponding to a set of time occasions that are separated by a same interval; identifying at least one time occasion to monitor a candidate physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on at least one search space; and decoding the candidate PDCCH in the identified at least one time occasion for obtaining the downlink control information.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for transmitting Uplink Control Information (UCI) over a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) in a communication system. A method includes acquiring, by the UE, information for configuration of a first PUCCH format and a second PUCCH format; generating, by the UE, UCI to be transmitted; selecting, by the UE, one of the first PUCCH format and the second PUCCH format for transmitting the UCI; encoding, by the UE, the generated UCI; performing, by the UE, an Inverse Fourier Transform (IFT) operation on the encoded UCI; and transmitting, by the UE, the IFT performed UCI using the selected PUCCH format. One of the first PUCCH format and the second PUCCH format is selected by the UE, based on a transmission on multiple carriers from a base station.

An apparatus and method are provided for transmitting Uplink Control Information (UCI) over a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) in a communication system. A method includes acquiring, by a user equipment (UE), from a base station, information for a PUCCH format; generating, by the UE, UCI to be transmitted; modulating, by the UE, the UCI by using quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK); performing, by the UE, an inverse Fourier transform (IFT) operation on the modulated UCI; and transmitting, by the UE, the inverse Fourier transformed UCI on the PUCCH format by using a part of symbols in a slot.

A method for transmitting an acknowledgement signal by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting a first acknowledgement signal corresponding to a first data packet in first transmission time intervals (TTIs), wherein transmission of another signal excluding the first acknowledgement signal in the first TTIs is prohibited.

Methods and apparatuses are described for wireless communication supporting carrier aggregation. The method includes monitoring a first search space and a second search space on a primary component carrier, to receive a scheduling assignment including information indicating a component carrier on which data is transmitted, wherein a scheduling assignment for the primary component carrier is received in the first search space, and a scheduling assignment for a secondary component carrier is received in the second search space; and receiving the data on one of the primary component carrier and the secondary component carrier. The first search space for the primary component carrier is different from the second search space for the secondary component carrier.
