Abstract:
A method for a user equipment (UE) to determine locations for M candidate physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) in a set of N physical resource blocks (PRBs) in a transmission time interval (TTI) is provided. The method includes determining a location for each of M candidate PDCCHs in a different PRB if N is greater than or equal to M and determining a location for each of N candidate PDCCHs in a different PRB and determining a location for each of remaining M−N candidate PDCCHs in a different PRB if M is greater than N and 2N is greater than or equal to M.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for feeding back channel quality information and performing scheduling using the fed-back channel quality information in a wireless communication system based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA). In the OFDMA wireless communication system, forward performance degradation due to a decrease in an amount of reverse channel quality information is reduced, and also an increase in the reverse load due to channel quality information feedback is suppressed. A base station controls power of a physical channel using information fed back from a mobile station. In a method for feeding back channel quality information from the mobile station, sub-band-by-sub-band channel quality information is measured and channel-by-channel quality information of a number of channels is transmitted in order of sub-bands of better channel quality information. Average channel quality information for a total band is measured and transmitted.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving control information in a wireless communication system. A method in a base station includes identifying an offset value and a number of control channel candidates corresponding to a number of control channel elements (CCEs) constituting one control channel candidate; determining indexes of control channel candidates based on the identified offset value and the identified number of control channel candidates; and transmitting the control information to the terminal through at least one of the control channel candidates in a downlink control channel. The determined indexes of control channel candidates are spaced by a value determined based on the transmitted number of control channel candidates.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are described for a Node B to transmit Reference Signals (RS) from multiple antennas to enable User Equipments (UEs) to perform demodulation of received information signals and to estimate Channel Quality Indication (CQI) metrics. To minimize overhead and enable backward compatible operation with legacy systems, RS from a first set of Node B antennas are transmitted in every transmission time interval and substantially over the whole operating BandWidth (BW). RS from a second set of Node B antennas serving for CQI estimation are periodically transmitted, substantially over the whole operating BW, with transmission period informed to UEs through broadcast signaling by the Node B and starting transmission sub-frame determined from the identity of the cell served by the Node B. RS from the second set of antennas, and new RS from the first set of antennas, serving for demodulation of information signals have substantially the same BW as the information signals which can be smaller than the operating BW.

A method and base station in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes transmitting, to a terminal, system information including information associated with a sub-frame configuration of multimedia broadcast multicast service single frequency network (MBSFN) sub-frames, determining a transmission mode of the terminal, the transmission mode indicating one of a first transmission mode and a second transmission mode, transmitting, to the terminal, dedicated message including configuration information of the determined transmission mode of the terminal, and transmitting, to the terminal, control information in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and data in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a first sub-frame of the MBSFN sub-frames, if the terminal is configured in the first transmission mode.

Methods and apparatuses are described for the transmission of Scheduling Assignments (SAs) from a base station to User Equipments (UEs) for data reception in the downlink or data transmission in the uplink of a communication system. A method for wireless communication includes receiving a scheduling assignment in a search space on a primary component carrier, the scheduling assignment including information indicating a component carrier on which data is transmitted; and receiving the data on the indicated component carrier. The search space for the primary component carrier is different from a search space for a secondary component carrier.

An apparatus and method are provided for a mobile communication system. The method includes receiving a signal; determining location information of at least one symbol group; and acquiring the at least one symbol group, to which an orthogonal sequence is applied, from the signal, based on the location information. The at least one symbol group is mapped to one of a first antenna set and a second antenna set based on the a symbol group index and a physical hybrid automatic repeat request indicator channel (PHICH) group index.
