Abstract

The present disclosure provides a wireless communication method and an eNode B and user equipment therefor. The method comprises a step of transmitting multiple PDCCH or EPDCCH repetitions respectively in multiple successive downlink subframes with a transmission repetition number and a transmission starting subframe. The transmission starting subframe is selected from a first starting subframe set corresponding to the first repetition number or a second starting subframe set corresponding to the second repetition number. The subframe indexes of any two adjacent starting subframes in the first starting subframe set are offset by a same first index interval, the subframe indexes of any two adjacent starting subframes in the second starting subframe set are offset by a same second index interval, and the second index interval is an integral multiple of the first index interval. According to the present disclosure, the resource blocking probability of different repetition numbers, UE's detection complexity can be decreased, and eNB's scheduling complexity.
