Abstract:
The set of resource aggregation levels available for forming an enhanced control channel message may vary from one subframe to another, based on the level of puncturing in the transmitted subframes. An example method begins with determining members of a set of aggregation levels usable to aggregate the non-overlapping subsets of resource elements for transmitting downlink control information. This determining is based on a puncturing level to be used for the transmission of the downlink control information. Downlink control information for the given subframe is mapped to one or more non-overlapping subsets of resource elements in the at least one block of time-frequency resources, according to an aggregation level selected from the determined set, and then transmitted, in the one or more non-overlapping subsets. This method may be repeated for each of several subframes, where the puncturing may differ from one subframe to another.

Claim (Index 22):
A user equipment apparatus arranged to receive downlink control information in a radio communication system, the user equipment apparatus comprising transmitter circuits and receiver circuits adapted to receive and transmit radio signals over an air interface and further comprising one or more processing circuits, wherein the processing circuits are configured to, for a first subframe in which multiple non-overlapping subsets of resource elements in at least one block of time-frequency resources are aggregated for a received transmission of first downlink control information:\n select a first set of aggregation levels usable to aggregate the non-overlapping subsets of resource elements for the received transmission of the first downlink control information, by selecting between a two sets of aggregation levels, based on whether a puncturing level for the first subframe is above or equal to a threshold, one of the two sets comprising an aggregation level that is higher than all the aggregation levels in the other of the two sets; and receive the first downlink control information by de-mapping the first downlink control information from one or more first non-overlapping subsets of resource elements in the at least one block of time-frequency resources, according to an aggregation level selected from the selected first set.
