A method (10; 20) for detecting a Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH, the method comprising: receiving (100; 200) a configuration of an Enhanced-PDCCH, E-PDCCH from a base station of a mobile communication network at a user equipment served by the base station, BS; receiving a subframe from the serving BS at the user equipment, UE; determining (102; 202), by the UE, whether the received subframe is a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service Single Frequency Network, MBSFN, subframe; wherein determining whether the received subframe is a MBSFN subframe further comprises determining whether upper layer signaling is received, wherein the upper layer signaling indicates that the received the subframe is an MBSFN subframe bearing a Physical Multicast Channel, PMCH, and according to a determination result, detecting (103; 203), by the UE, the PDCCH, wherein if the received subframe is an MBSFN subframe bearing a PMCH, a common PDCCH therein is detected, and if the received subframe is a MBSFN subframe not bearing a PMCH or a non-MBSFN subframe, an E-PDCCH therein is detected based on the E-PDCCH configuration, wherein a MBSFN subframe is transmitted, by the serving BS, through a system information block and/or Radio Resource Control, RRC, signaling, the MBSFN subframe transmitted through the system information block is a semi-static MBSFN subframe, and the MBSFN subframe transmitted through the RRC signaling is a dynamic MBSFN subframe and comprises all or a part of the semi-static MBSFN subframe, wherein the method further comprises the serving BS adjusting the MBSFN subframe configuration rapidly according to the MBMS or according to the number of UEs required to be scheduled. receiving (100; 200) a configuration of an Enhanced-PDCCH, E-PDCCH from a base station of a mobile communication network at a user equipment served by the base station, BS; receiving a subframe from the serving BS at the user equipment, UE; determining (102; 202), by the UE, whether the received subframe is a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service Single Frequency Network, MBSFN, subframe; wherein determining whether the received subframe is a MBSFN subframe further comprises determining whether upper layer signaling is received, wherein the upper layer signaling indicates that the received the subframe is an MBSFN subframe bearing a Physical Multicast Channel, PMCH, and according to a determination result, detecting (103; 203), by the UE, the PDCCH, wherein if the received subframe is an MBSFN subframe bearing a PMCH, a common PDCCH therein is detected, and if the received subframe is a MBSFN subframe not bearing a PMCH or a non-MBSFN subframe, an E-PDCCH therein is detected based on the E-PDCCH configuration, wherein a MBSFN subframe is transmitted, by the serving BS, through a system information block and/or Radio Resource Control, RRC, signaling, the MBSFN subframe transmitted through the system information block is a semi-static MBSFN subframe, and the MBSFN subframe transmitted through the RRC signaling is a dynamic MBSFN subframe and comprises all or a part of the semi-static MBSFN subframe, wherein the method further comprises the serving BS adjusting the MBSFN subframe configuration rapidly according to the MBMS or according to the number of UEs required to be scheduled.
