Abstract

A method of transmitting a Relay Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) at a base station in a wireless communication system. A set of Virtual Resource Blocks (VRBs) are assigned for the R-PDCCH to a downlink subframe. The downlink subframe is transmitted to a relay node. The set of VRBs is configured to be same, by higher layer, in a first slot and a second slot of the downlink subframe. If the set of VRBs for the R-PDCCH is assigned in the first slot of the downlink subframe, the R-PDCCH is configured to contain a downlink assignment. If the set of VRBs for the R-PDCCH is assigned in the second slot of the downlink subframe, the R-PDCCH is configured to contain an uplink grant.
