Abstract
A method is provided for monitoring a control channel in a wireless communication system. A wireless device receives information from a base station for a search space in which a downlink control channel is monitored. The received information further includes first information indicating either a localized transmission or distributed transmission. The wireless device monitors the downlink control channel in the search space of a subframe, in at least one enhanced control channel element (ECCE) including a plurality of enhanced resource element groups (EREGs). If the first information indicates the localized transmission, the plurality of EREGs in each of the at least one ECCE are mapped to one of a plurality of physical resource block (PRB) pairs. If the localized transmission is used, the plurality of EREGs are associated with a single antenna port selected based on an index of the at least one ECCE and the wireless device's specific information.
