Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for determining uplink control channel resources; wherein the method includes: receiving, by user equipment (UE), a specific parameter configured for a mapping manner of its enhanced physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) by an eNB; and determining its uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources by the UE according to a specific parameter corresponding to the mapping manner of its E-PDCCH and a PUCCH calculation formula. With the embodiments of the present invention, collision of PUCCH resources of different UE is lowered, and/or spectral efficiencies of the PUCCHs are improved.
