Abstract:
1. A method to determine an indicator value in a wireless communication system, comprising: configuring system devices with a first component carrier and a second component carrier for carrier aggregation; receiving PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) on the first component carrier; receiving a corresponding PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) on the second component carrier; configuring a CFI (Control Format Indicator) with an initial configured value via a RRC (Radio Resource Control) signal; and setting the CFI, which is used to determine a starting point of the PDSCH, to be the lesser of the initial configured value and a selected constant for a MBSFN (Multi-Media Broadcast over a Single Frequency Network) subframe, wherein the CFI, for a normal subframe, is set to the initial configured value.
