Abstract
Methods and arrangements in a network node and mobile terminal, respectively, in a wireless communication system supporting aggregation of component carriers. The method in a network node involves, when resources on at least two downlink component carriers are being assigned to a mobile terminal at the same time, allocating (908) control information bits not related to power control in a bit field, which is normally used for power control in a message on a physical downlink control channel associated with one of said at least two downlink component carriers. The method in a mobile terminal involves, using control information bits not related to power control obtained from a bit field, which is normally used for power control in a message on a physical downlink control channel associated with one of said at least two downlink component carriers, for locating information related to downlink or uplink transmissions.
