Abstract:
1. A method for wireless communication in a user equipment (UE), comprising: receiving information associated with a physical resource block (PRB) for enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH); determining a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol in which EPDCCH transmission starts, based on either first information received on physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH) or second information received on higher layer signaling; and receiving control information on the EPDCCH based on the information associated with the PRB and the determined starting OFDM symbol, wherein the control information on the EPDCCH is received by using a first number of enhanced CCEs (ECCEs), and the first number for the ECCEs is one of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
