Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for blind decoding control signal candidates, preconfigured by a base station for a user equipment in a control region of each subframe. A plurality of starting positions is preconfigured between two subsequent subframe boundaries. The subframe is either a partial subframe or a full subframe. A first set of control signal candidates is preconfigured for the UE for the first starting position, and further sets of control signal candidates are preconfigured for the remaining starting positions. The number of control signal candidates of at least one of the further sets is less than the number of control signal candidates of the first set. For each subframe, the UE, for at least the first starting position out of the plurality of starting positions, blind decodes the set of control signal candidates preconfigured for that starting position to receive the one or more control signals.

Claim (Index 19):
A radio base station for transmitting one of more control signals to a user equipment, wherein control signal candidates are preconfigured by the radio base station for the user equipment so as to usable by the radio base station to transmit the one or more control signals to the user equipment,\n wherein a plurality of starting positions are preconfigured between two subsequent subframe boundaries, a first starting position being the first subframe boundary of the two subsequent subframe boundaries, wherein the subframe is either a partial subframe, not starting or not ending at subframe boundaries, or a full subframe, starting and ending at subframe boundaries, wherein a full subframe starts at the first starting position, and a partial subframe starts at any one of the plurality of starting positions, wherein a first set of control signal candidates is preconfigured for the user equipment for the first starting position, and wherein further sets of control signal candidates are preconfigured for the user equipment for the remaining starting positions, one set of control signal candidates for each of the remaining starting positions, wherein one control signal destined to the user equipment can be transmitted by the radio base station in one control signal candidate, wherein the number of control signal candidates of at least one of the further sets is less than the number of control signal candidates of the first set, the radio base station comprising:\n a processor configured to determine one of the plurality of starting positions to start the transmission of data, \n the processor being further configured to determine one control signal candidate from the set of control signal candidates preconfigured for the determined starting position, \n a transmitter being configured to transmit the control signal using the determined control signal candidate of the determined starting position.
