Claim Text:
1. A control channel structure including at least one control channel to be allocated at least to a user for at least one of uplink and downlink directions in a network, which the at least one control channel is arranged as at least a part of a modular structure comprising modular code blocks of at least two different sizes, wherein the modular structure forms a tree where each of the modular code blocks defines one node of the tree, respectively, wherein each of the nodes comprises signalling entries coded by a given code rate, wherein the modular structure of the at least one control channel allows user equipment specific separate coded control channels with limited and optimized number of searches, and wherein the signalling entries include information blocks, and each information block of a signalling entry is rate matched to a node of the tree.
