Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and to an apparatus in which a terminal processes a downlink control channel in a wireless communication system that supports carrier aggregation. The method comprises the steps of: checking a plurality of carrier groups from a plurality of downlink component carriers (DL CCs); receiving a control information region through at least a portion of the plurality of DL CCs; performing blind decoding on control channels in the control information region in a first carrier group; and performing blind decoding on control channels in the control information region in a second carrier group. The present invention also relates to an apparatus for the method.
