Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for efficient RE usage in CCEs. One apparatus includes a processor that determines a control channel frequency region including a set of CCEs in a TTI. Each CCE of the set of CCEs includes a set of REs. The processor determines a subset of CCEs of the set of CCEs not used for transmission of control information. The apparatus includes a receiver that receives data on the REs in the subset of CCEs.
