The device may receive a set of configurations for the EPDCCH that are linked (linked) to a set of received configurations for the PDSCH (which may be a subset of the set of PDSCH configurations). The device may then receive the EPDCCH and process the EPDCCH based on at least one configuration from the set of configurations for the EPDCCH. In another aspect, a device may at least determine a first and a second set of resources configured for a control channel (e.g., EPDCCH), and the common set of aggregation levels for the first and second resource sets You can decide. The apparatus may additionally determine first rate-matching parameters for the first resource set and second rate-matching parameters for the second resource set and may further include a common set of aggregation levels and first and second rate- The matching parameters may also be used to process the control channel. In another aspect, the apparatus determines, based on the EPDCCH configuration, whether the start symbol of the enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) is an initial symbol in the subframe (i. E., Its value is zero) and the start symbol of the EPDCCH Thereby preventing decoding of a subset of legacy control channels in a subframe in the case of an initial symbol in a subframe.
