Abstract
Apparatuses and methods provide for scheduling downlink control information in a wireless network. The apparatuses and methods may determine at least one control message for a user equipment and a downlink grant to be scheduled, and schedule transmission of one of the at least one control message with the downlink grant to precede transmission of related data on a downlink data channel. The apparatuses and methods may alternatively schedule a control message other than downlink grant for a user equipment, determine a downlink grant to be scheduled, and schedule a control message with the downlink grant to end last among all control messages in a search space. The apparatuses and methods may further alternatively schedule control messages for a user equipment, including one control message with a downlink grant and scheduled to end at the same time as or a later time than other control messages in a search space.
