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 8):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the control region is at the beginning of each of the partial and full subframes, wherein the control region comprises a Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH, a Physical Control Format Indicator Channel, PCFICH, and/or a Physical hybrid HARQ Indicator Channel, PHICH, or\n wherein the control region is distributed in the time domain over a data region of each of the partial and full subframes, wherein the control region comprises an Enhanced PDCCH, and a second control region is at the beginning of each of the partial and full subframes, wherein the second control region comprises a Physical Control Format Indicator Channel, PCFICH and/or a Physical hybrid HARQ Indicator Channel, PHICH.
