Abstract:
The present invention relates to providing control information within a search space for blind decoding in a multi-carrier communication system. In particular, the control information is carried within a sub-frame of the communication system, the sub-frame including a plurality of control channel elements. The control channel elements may be aggregated into candidates for blind decoding. The number of control channel elements in a candidate is called aggregation level. In accordance with the present invention, the candidates of lower aggregation levels are localized, meaning that the control channel elements of one candidate are located adjacently to each other in the frequency domain. Some candidates of the higher aggregation level(s) are distributed in the frequency.

Claim (Index 1):
An integrated circuit comprising:\n at least one input, which, in operation, inputs data; and circuitry, which is coupled to the at least one input and which, in operation, controls: reception of downlink control information mapped to a search space configured on a data region of a downlink subframe, the search space including a plurality of candidates to which the downlink control information may be mapped by a transmission apparatus, and each candidate including a control channel element (CCE) or a plurality of aggregated CCEs, wherein a first aggregation level value for localized allocation where CCE(s) included in a candidate are localized in a frequency domain is smaller than a second aggregation level value for distributed allocation where CCEs included in the candidate are at least partially distributed in the frequency domain; and decoding of the search space to obtain the downlink control information that is mapped to one of the plurality of candidates included in the search space.
