Abstract:
A method for determining resources to be decoded by the UE to retrieve physical downlink control channels. A method is in a UE or an eNB and comprises the following steps of: i. determining a start position of a unit of resources in one physical resource block pair; ii. determining a gap between two of the units; and iii. determining a set of units, in a given plurality of physical resource block pairs, according to said start position and said gap, as the resources to be decoded. In this way, the eNB and the UE can locate all the resources for the EPDCCH, namely the search space is determined. This aspect allows a balance between the number of blind decoding and eNB scheduling flexibility in the EPDCCH search space.

Claim (Index 19):
The method according to  claim 17 , wherein said determining the start position of the resource element group in the control channel element includes using the following equation:\n I EREG =max[ ID C-RNTI  mod( N EREG \u2212( AL\u2212 1)),0] wherein, I EREG  stands for the index of the start resource element group within one control channel elements, ID C-RNTI  stands for a UE-specific ID, N EREG  stands for the number of resource element groups within one control channel elements, and AL stands for the aggregation level that is relevant with the total number of control channel elements that is required in the physical downlink control channel.
