  • Patent number: 9445412
    Abstract: An EPDCCH is made up of an aggregation of one or more resources obtained by dividing one of PRB pairs. In a case where a total number of antenna ports for transmitting reference signals to be used to demodulate signals mapped to the EPDCCH is four, four resources obtained by dividing one of the PRB pairs correspond to the antenna ports of different numbers. In a case where a total number of antenna ports for transmitting reference signals to be used to demodulate signals mapped to the EPDCCH is two, two resources obtained by dividing one of the PRB pairs correspond to the antenna ports of different numbers. A mobile station apparatus includes a reception processor that demodulates, by using reference signals transmitted from the antenna ports corresponding to the resources used for the EPDCCH, signal mapped to the EPDCCH for which decoding and detection are performed.

    Abstract: There are provided a base station, a terminal, a communications system, and a communications method which enable efficient transmission and reception of transmission data even in the case where the base station notifies the terminal of control information via an enhanced physical downlink control channel. A terminal configured to perform communication with a base station monitors a physical downlink control channel mapped to a physical downlink control channel region, and acquires higher-layer control information indicating a plurality of enhanced physical downlink control channel regions different from the physical downlink control channel region. In the case where the terminal has acquired the higher-layer control information, the terminal monitors an enhanced physical downlink control channel mapped to at least one region from among the plurality of enhanced physical downlink control channel regions, in place of the physical downlink control channel mapped to the physical downlink control channel region.
