Patent ID: 8767638

Claim:
A communication device of a wireless communication system for handling resource assignment for a network in a wireless communication system, the communication device comprising: a process means for executing a program code; and a memory unit coupled to the process means for storing the program code; wherein the program code instructs the processor means to perform the following steps: configuring a plurality of component carriers to a mobile device for simultaneous data transmission and reception; sending to the mobile device physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signaling corresponding to a first component carrier of the plurality of component carriers on a second component carrier of the plurality of component carriers; and configuring to the mobile device that the first component carrier and the second component carrier share the same PDCCH signaling; wherein sending to the mobile device the PDCCH signaling corresponding to the first component carrier on the second component carrier of the plurality of component carriers comprises: transmitting to the mobile device a first downlink assignment that allocates downlink resources of the first component carrier on a PDCCH of the second component carrier; and further comprising: transmitting a second downlink assignment that allocates downlink resources of the second component carrier on the PDCCH of the second component carrier; or wherein sending to the mobile device the PDCCH signaling corresponding to the first component carrier on the second component carrier of the plurality of component carriers comprises: transmitting to the mobile device a first uplink grant that allocates uplink resources of the first component carrier on the PDCCH of the second component carrier; and further comprising: transmitting a second uplink grant that allocates uplink resources of the second component carrier on the PDCCH of the second component carrier.
