Abstract:
Provided are a method and an apparatus for control channel decoding of a terminal in a multi-node system. The method sets a search space for searching a control channel and can perform the decoding by using different demodulation methods according to aggregation levels capable of constituting the control channel within the search space. In addition, the method determines the DCI format to be searched according to a transmission mode and can use different demodulation methods according to the determined DCI format. Furthermore, the method modulates DCI format to a first modulation degree when demodulating the DCI format, and can demodulate the DCI format to a second modulation degree when the DCI format is not detected.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and an apparatus for allocating a control channel in a wireless communication system. A base station allocates an enhanced physical downlink control channel (e-PDCCH) to a localized region within a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) region, allocates the e-PDCCH to a distributed region within the PDSCH region, and transmits a scheduling assignment via the allocated e-PDCCH.
Abstract:
Provided are a method for searching for a control channel by a terminal in a wireless communication system and a terminal for using the method. The method determines whether an allocation unit constituting an enhanced-physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) is one or plural in number; and, if the allocation unit constituting the E-PDCCH is plural in number, searches for the E-PDCCH using a user equipment specific reference signal (URS) of an antenna port defined in one allocation unit from among the plurality of allocation units.
Abstract:
An interference removal method in a multi-node system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives node information from a base station, a first signal from a first node, and a second signal from a second node. The first signal and the second signal are used to remove an interference. The node information includes configuration information related to the first signal and the second signal. The configuration information includes information related to at least one of a number of antenna ports of the first node and the second node, a number of data streams, and a node identifier (ID). A pattern of the first signal or the second signal is determined according to at least one of the number of antenna ports of the first node and the second node, the number of data streams, and the node ID.

Abstract:
According to one aspect of the present invention, values which are specifically defined for each user equipment are reflected when resource allocation/mapping of downlink/uplink ACK/NACK channels is performed, so as to vary uplink/downlink ACK/NACK information transmitting resources for each user equipment allocated to the same downlink/uplink resource. According to another aspect of the present invention, nodes for transmitting uplink/downlink ACK/NACK information vary for each user equipment allocated to the same downlink/uplink resource. According to the present invention, even when downlink/uplink signals for a plurality of user equipment are transmitted from the same resource, uplink/downlink ACK/NACK signals of the plurality of user equipment are transmitted from different resources, thereby reducing interferences among ACK/NACK signals of the plurality of user equipment.
