  • Publication number: 20130022014
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a method and apparatus for allocating a control information resource in a wireless communication system, which operates a plurality of component carriers, and for decoding control information. Control information on the plurality of component carriers is realigned in accordance with the order of decoding and resources are allocated to reduce control information decoding complexity at the receiving end and to enable an estimation of amount of computation for decoding. A method for determining a search space, which is a set of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates to be monitored by a terminal in a communication system, involves determining, as the search space, an extended search candidate formed by the value obtained by multiplying the number of search candidates applied to a carrier component and carrier indication information on the component carriers of user equipment if the user equipment uses a plurality of component carriers.

  • Publication number: 20120257689
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for configuring a channel using diversity. The method for configuring a channel using uplink diversity according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps: converting k-bit of information to be transmitted into n-bit, which is an encoded bit, so as to transmit predetermined information from the channel; selecting m-bit from among said n-bit and permitting T-number of transmitting antennas to generate T-number of modulation symbols so as to transmit said m-bit; and transmitting said T-number of modulation symbols as channel symbols from said T-number of transmitting antennas. In the step of generating the modulation symbols, the T-number of transmitting antennas generate the T-number of modulation symbols using R-number of different resources from each other.
