Abstract
A method for efficiently transmitting and receiving control information through a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) is provided. When a User Equipment (UE) receives control information through a PDCCH, the received control information is set to be decoded in units of search spaces. Here, the UE monitors a UE-specific search space, among the search spaces. The UE-specific search space is given based on a modulus operation using the variable of Yk for the subframe k and a variable C for the subframe k, wherein Yk is defined by: Yk=(A*Yk−1+B) mod D, the variable C is determined based on the number of CCEs (NCCE) divided by the aggregation level (L), and A, B and D are predetermined constant values predetermined regardless of the aggregation levels (L).
