Abstract
Control channels can benefit from a search space arrangement. For example, an evolved or enhanced physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) in the long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) physical layer can benefit in its design from a search space arrangement. A method can include indicating a control channel search space by a pair of parameters. The pair of parameters can include a physical resource block index and an explicit control channel element index. The method can also include transmitting on the control channel within the search space.
