Abstract:
A method for determining resources to be decoded by the UE to retrieve physical downlink control channels. A method is in a UE or an eNB and comprises the following steps of: i. determining a start position of a unit of resources in one physical resource block pair; ii. determining a gap between two of the units; and iii. determining a set of units, in a given plurality of physical resource block pairs, according to said start position and said gap, as the resources to be decoded. In this way, the eNB and the UE can locate all the resources for the EPDCCH, namely the search space is determined. This aspect allows a balance between the number of blind decoding and eNB scheduling flexibility in the EPDCCH search space.

Claim (Index 17):
The method according to  claim 14 , wherein the unit of the resources is a resource element group within a control channel element in a physical resource block pair, and said determining a start position of a unit of resources in one physical resource block pair according to UE specific information comprises:\n determining the start position of a control channel element, within which the resource element group is located, in one physical resource block pair according to:\n UE specific information; \n the total number of control channel elements that is required; \n the number of resource element groups in one control channel element; and \n the number of control channel elements in one physical resource block pair \n determining the start position of the resource element group in the control channel element according to:\n UE specific information; \n the total number of control channel elements that is required; and \n the number of resource element groups in one control channel element.
