Abstract

A method and an apparatus for transmitting/receiving downlink control information are provided. Downlink control information about a data channel may be transmitted through one of a plurality of decoding candidates. Depending on whether the data channel is based on a first sub-frame or a second sub-frame, the downlink control information is transmitted through one of the candidates for the first sub-frame or one of the candidates for the second sub-frame, from among the plurality of decoding candidates. The second sub-frame is shorter than the first sub-frame and can be set within the first sub-frame.
