20130114521 | NETWORK NODE, USER EQUIPMENT AND METHODS THEREIN - A method in a network node for transmitting an enhanced Control CHannel, eCCH, to a user equipment in a telecommunications system. The eCCH comprises control information to the user equipment in at least one Control Channel Element, CCE. The at least one CCE maps to a number of resource elements comprised in at least one enhanced resource element group. The at least one enhanced resource element group is comprised in at least one resource block in a time-frequency Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM, grid. The network node decides to use a CCE aggregation level that is smaller than the smallest CCE aggregation level of a physical downlink control channel, PDCCH, for a first eCCH. The network node then modulates the first eCCH by using a higher order modulation than Quadrature Phase Shift Keying, QPSK, modulation, when the smaller CCE aggregation level is used for the first eCCH. Then, the network node maps the modulated first eCCH to the at least one enhanced resource element group of resource elements in the at least one resource block, and transmits the mapped first eCCH to the user equipment. A network node, a method in user equipment and a user equipment are also provided. | 05-09-2013 |
20130114522 | Network Node, User Equipment and Methods Therein - A method in a user equipment device for estimating a channel upon receiving an enhanced control channel (eCCH) from a network node in a telecommunications system includes distributing the eCCH over multiple resource pairs, where each of the multiple resource block pairs includes a number of resources. Each of the resources is associated with a respective antenna port. The user equipment device identifies an antenna port that is associated with multiple ones of the resources. The multiple ones of the resources are present in different resource block pairs of the multiple resource block pairs over which the eCCH is distributed. Identifying the antenna port is based on how the eCCH is mapped to the multiple resource block pairs. The user equipment device estimates the downlink channel for the eCCH based on the identified antenna port in the multiple ones of the resources in the multiple resource block pairs. | 05-09-2013 |

20130121267 | Network Node, User Equipment and Methods Therein for Transmitting and Receiving Control Information - A method in a network node for transmitting control information to a user equipment in a telecommunications system is provided. The control information is scheduled in time intervals of a downlink shared data channel, wherein the control information is allocated resource elements in resource blocks of a time-frequency Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM, grid in the time intervals in which the control information is scheduled. The network node determines for a time interval, a set of user equipments for which control information is scheduled in the time interval. Also, it selects for a user equipment comprised in the determined set of user equipments, at least one group of user equipments amongst one or more groups of user equipments to which the user equipment is assigned. It also prepares a group signal corresponding to the selected one group of user equipments by allocating resource elements in the resource blocks of the time interval to the group signal. Furthermore, the network node transmits the prepared group signal in the allocated resource element in the time interval to the user equipment such that the user equipment is enabled to determine whether the control information that is allocated resource elements in the time interval is intended for the user equipment or not. | 05-16-2013 |
20140050159 | Methods and Arrangements for Transmitting and Receiving Control Information - Some embodiments provide a method for transmitting a downlink control channel in at least one block of resources. The downlink control channel comprises a set of resource element groups. The method may be executed by a transmitting node, e.g., an eNB. The transmitting node first determines whether to transmit the downlink control channel using localized or distributed transmission. Responsive to determining to use localized transmission, the transmitting node performs the transmission such that all resource element groups in the set that are comprised in the same block of resources are mapped to the same antenna port, and the antenna port depends on which subset of resource element groups in the block of resources are used for the downlink control channel. | 02-20-2014 |

20140078978 | Method and Communication Node for Mapping an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel, EPDCCH, Message - A method in a communication node for mapping symbols of an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel, EPDCCH, message is provided. The EPDCCH comprises one or more aggregation levels. For each aggregation level, an EPDCCH message is constituted by a set of Control Channel Elements, eCCEs. Each eCCE is mapped to a set of multiple enhanced Resource Element Groups, eREGs, wherein each eREG is a group of Resource Elements, REs, in a Physical Resource Block, PRB, pair. The communication node maps the symbols of the EPDCCH message to the set of REs that constitutes the multiple eREGs that the set of eCCEs correspond to. The order in which the EPDCCH symbols are mapped to the set of REs is dependent on the aggregation level. | 03-20-2014 |
