Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for a User Equipment (UE) to receive signaling of UE-common Downlink Control Information (DCI) in a set of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) over a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) are provided. The method includes receiving a broadcast signal from a base station; determining a first set of PRBs for a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on the broadcast signal; determining a second set of PRBs for a second PDCCH based on a higher layer signaling; and receiving a reference signal (RS) in the first set of PRBs or in the second set of PRBs. The RS is determined based on an identity of a cell of the base station, in a case that the RS is received in the first set of PRBs, and the RS is determined based on the higher layer signaling, in a case that the RS is received in the second set of PRBs.
