A method for wireless communication, comprising: a mobile station (no), monitoring a physical downlink control channel, PDCCH, on an anchor carrier for a carrier pointer message; receiving, in a subframe, a carrier pointer message on the PDCCH of the anchor carrier, wherein the carrier pointer message includes indications for non-anchor carriers, wherein the indications enable the mobile station to monitor PDCCHs of non-anchor carriers in a next subframe; and monitoring, in the next subframe, the PDCCH of the anchor carrier and PDCCHs of the non-anchor carriers, wherein there is one subframe delay between the subframe and the next subframe, the method further comprising: receiving control information in resource blocks, RBs, of a physical downlink shared channel region in at least one of the non-anchor carriers based on detecting on the anchor carrier a PDCCH pointing the mobile station to said at least one of the non-anchor carriers, wherein the RBs comprising the control information are divided into resource element groups, REGs, and control channel elements, CCEs, wherein the physical downlink shared channel region is located within orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, OFDM, symbols following a physical downlink control channel region in a subframe. a mobile station (no), monitoring a physical downlink control channel, PDCCH, on an anchor carrier for a carrier pointer message; receiving, in a subframe, a carrier pointer message on the PDCCH of the anchor carrier, wherein the carrier pointer message includes indications for non-anchor carriers, wherein the indications enable the mobile station to monitor PDCCHs of non-anchor carriers in a next subframe; and monitoring, in the next subframe, the PDCCH of the anchor carrier and PDCCHs of the non-anchor carriers, wherein there is one subframe delay between the subframe and the next subframe, monitoring a physical downlink control channel, PDCCH, on an anchor carrier for a carrier pointer message; receiving, in a subframe, a carrier pointer message on the PDCCH of the anchor carrier, wherein the carrier pointer message includes indications for non-anchor carriers, wherein the indications enable the mobile station to monitor PDCCHs of non-anchor carriers in a next subframe; and monitoring, in the next subframe, the PDCCH of the anchor carrier and PDCCHs of the non-anchor carriers, wherein there is one subframe delay between the subframe and the next subframe, the method further comprising: receiving control information in resource blocks, RBs, of a physical downlink shared channel region in at least one of the non-anchor carriers based on detecting on the anchor carrier a PDCCH pointing the mobile station to said at least one of the non-anchor carriers, wherein the RBs comprising the control information are divided into resource element groups, REGs, and control channel elements, CCEs, wherein the physical downlink shared channel region is located within orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, OFDM, symbols following a physical downlink control channel region in a subframe. receiving control information in resource blocks, RBs, of a physical downlink shared channel region in at least one of the non-anchor carriers based on detecting on the anchor carrier a PDCCH pointing the mobile station to said at least one of the non-anchor carriers, wherein the RBs comprising the control information are divided into resource element groups, REGs, and control channel elements, CCEs, wherein the physical downlink shared channel region is located within orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, OFDM, symbols following a physical downlink control channel region in a subframe.
