Claim Text:
1. A method for decoding at least one resource block (RB) including a first control channel element associated with a first antenna port (AP) and a second control channel element associated with a second AP in a wireless network, comprising: determining that the first control channel element and the second control channel element are used for transmission of a single control channel; selecting a first reference signal sequence associated with one of the first AP and the second AP for reception of the single control channel based on the lowest control channel index value of a first control channel element index value of the first control channel element and a second control channel element index value of the second control channel element; and detecting a resource element of the at least one RB using the first reference signal sequence to decode the first control channel element and the second control channel element.
