- the location of the search region for the E-PDCCH is signaled.
- the MTC terminal may blindly decode the search region for the E-PDCCH to obtain E-PDCCHs of the MTC group to which the MTC terminal belongs.
- the MTC terminal since the location of the E-PDCCH of each MTC terminal in the MTC group may be defined in advance through a higher layer, the MTC terminal determines which of the E-PDCCHs acquired in step 902 is its E-PDCCH. Able to know.
- the MTC terminal performs uplink signal transmission and downlink signal reception according to scheduling information included in its E-PDCCH, that is, resource allocation information.
- a method of reducing the size of the E-PDCCH itself may also be considered. For example, if resource allocation (for downlink signal reception or uplink signal transmission) of grouped MTC terminals is performed in a specific pattern, the bit size of resource allocation information included in the E-PDCCH may be reduced. For example, if you allocate a resource for every MTC only in a specified size unit (such as 1 RB or 1 subcarrier) or an integer multiple of it and configure it as a continuous index, it will tell you the location of the first resource region and only signal the offset value from it. In this way, the bit size of the resource allocation information can be significantly reduced.
- a specified size unit such as 1 RB or 1 subcarrier
- each MTC terminal may recognize only the location in its own group and recognize the location of resources scheduled to it without additional resource allocation information.
- the MCS of each of the MTC terminals included in the MTC group has a high probability of being a fixed value, the MCS value transmitted through the E-PDCCH may be omitted. Therefore, the E-PDCCH for the MTC group according to the present invention can be designed to be much smaller than the size of the R-PDCCH for the relay node, a number of E-PDCCH can be multiplexed in one RB.
- it may be configured as a PUCCH format (PUCCH format 3 of the LTE-A system) for transmitting uplink feedback information for a plurality of carriers at once.
- FIG. 10 is a diagram for one example of mapping an E-PDCCH for an MTC terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

- the location 1002 of the search region for the E-PDCCH is signaled.
- the position of the first resource (with the smallest index) of the search region 1002 of the E-PDCCH may change every subframe according to the MTC group identifier.
- the MTC terminal may blindly decode the search region 1002 for the E-PDCCH to obtain the E-PDCCHs 1003 of the MTC group to which the MTC terminal belongs. As described above, since the location of the E-PDCCH of each MTC terminal in the MTC group may be defined in advance through an upper layer, the MTC terminal may know which of its E-PDCCHs is the E-PDCCH in the E-PDCCHs 1003. have.
