Abstract:
A method and apparatus can provide for signaling of a higher layer message. A higher layer message from a base station indicating to monitor a control channel using demodulation reference signals in a shortened transmission time interval in a subframe can be received. A first control channel candidate in the shortened transmission time interval can be attempted to be decoded, where the first control channel candidate comprises a first shortened control channel element spanning a first set of shortened resource element groups in a frequency domain using a first demodulation reference signal on a first antenna port, where a first precoder applies to all demodulation reference signal resource elements in the first set of shortened resource element groups. A second control channel candidate in the shortened transmission time interval can be attempted to be decoded.

Claim (Index 17):
The apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein the higher layer message is a first higher layer message, the shortened transmission time interval is a first shortened transmission time interval, and the subframe is a first subframe,\n wherein the apparatus further receives a downlink signal from the base station, wherein the apparatus further determines a number of cell-specific reference signal antenna ports based on the received downlink signal, wherein the apparatus further receives a second higher layer message to monitor a third control channel candidate using demodulation reference signals in at least one shortened transmission time interval in a second subframe, where the second higher layer is higher than a physical layer, wherein the apparatus further determines whether to monitor the third control channel candidate using demodulation reference signals in a second shortened transmission time interval of the at least one shortened transmission time interval based on the determined number of cell-specific reference signal antenna ports in response to receiving the second higher layer message, and wherein the apparatus further attempts to decode the third control channel candidate using a third demodulation reference signal in the second shortened transmission time interval if it is determined to monitor the control channel candidate using DMRS in the second shortened transmission time interval.
