Claim:
1. A method for receiving a downlink control signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: determining a minimum aggregation level for a plurality of enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) candidates, wherein the minimum aggregation level is 2 if both a downlink (DL) bandwidth includes at least 25 resource blocks (RBs) and a downlink control information (DCI) format is one of DCI formats 2, 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D; monitoring the plurality of EPDCCH candidates in an EPDCCH set to decode an EPDCCH transmitted from a base station (BS) using the minimum aggregation level; decoding the EPDCCH transmitted from the BS; and receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) corresponding to the decoded EPDCCH.
