LTE PDCCH GROUP BASED PDCCH CAPABILITY FOR LTE

摘要

Group-based PDCCH capability is proposed for LTE. In particular, information common to a group of UEs, such as those common to a virtual carrier, may be signaled in the group search space within the PDCCH. This common information may include the location of another control region embedded in the virtual carrier, including UE specific information to access the resources of the virtual carrier. Additional methods of allocating UEs to a group by implicit signaling and determining the aggregation level of the group-based PDCCH search space are introduced.
