Abstract:
In legacy systems such as 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) releases 8 to 10, the control channel is transmitted using the first few Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a subframe. The limited control channel capacity will impact the system performance in future releases as more and more User Equipments (UEs) will be scheduled in a subframe with technologies such as MulitUser-Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) and Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) transmission being enhanced or introduced. A new Enhanced Control CHannel (E-CCH) is necessary to be designed, which will use the resource in the Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) in the legacy systems. The E-CCH will support UE-specific DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) based transmission and receiving. However, the configuration of DMRS for E-CCH is necessary to be known to UE in prior. This invention discloses multiple methods in which DMRS is configured for E-CCHs and respective eNB and UE behaviors.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting control information by a base station in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes determining a precoder to be applied to a resource and a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) port, the resource being used to transmit the control information, and the DMRS port corresponding to the resource and being used to transmit a DMRS, precoding the resource and the DMRS port by using the determined precoder, and transmitting the control information and the DMRS to a user equipment.

Abstract:
A method and system for resource allocation is provided. A method includes identifying a set of resource blocks associated with a control channel for a terminal; transmitting, to the terminal, information on the set of resource blocks on a radio resource control signal, the information including first information indicating resource blocks included in the set of resource blocks and second information indicating a number of symbols corresponding to the set of resource blocks; transmitting, to the terminal, control information including information for downlink data on the control channel identified based on the first information and the second information; and transmitting, to the terminal, the downlink data on a data channel based on the control information. The set of resource blocks includes at least one control channel resource. A search space for the control channel of the terminal is defined based on an aggregation level, a number of the at least one control channel resource, and a number of a candidate associated with the control channel.
Abstract:
A method for wireless communication by a terminal, a method for wireless communication by a base station, the terminal, and the base station, are provided. The method for wireless communication by the terminal includes receiving first information comprising a muting subframe interval, a subframe offset, and a muting position of a resource element in a resource block, checking presence of a data in a subframe, determining the resource element to be muted in the subframe based on the muting subframe interval, the subframe offset, and the muting position, if the data is present, and receiving the data on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on the result of the determining step.

Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving control information in wireless communication system. A method includes transmitting, through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, information representative of a set of resource blocks for transmitting the control information; generating the control information; and transmitting the control information based on at least one enhanced Control Channel Element (eCCE), at least one antenna port, and the set of resource blocks. The at least one antenna port is determined according to a starting index of the at least one eCCE and an IDentifier (ID) of the UE, when using localized eCCE allocation within the set of resource blocks.
