 The present invention will be clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Embodiments, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

 Before the base station sends the PDCCH to the terminal, the base station sends the C-RNTI of the terminal to the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) of the PDCCH, and according to the method for determining the PDCCH search space, Obtaining a starting point of the terminal's proprietary PDCCH search space, and placing the PDCCH in a certain available location in the search space of the starting point. At the receiving end, the terminal in the connected state calculates its own proprietary PDCCH search space for each subframe. The terminal determines the starting point of the proprietary PDCCH search space according to its own C-RNTI.

 According to the calculation method of the existing PDCCH search space, different C-RNTIs are calculated into the same search space, so that the base station cannot transmit the PDCCH to the terminal, resulting in a decrease in data transmission efficiency between the base station and the terminal.

 Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for determining a proprietary PDCCH search space of a terminal.

1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a method for determining a physical downlink control channel search space according to the present invention; In this embodiment, a method for determining a PDCCH search space is mainly described from a base station perspective. As shown in FIG. 1, this embodiment includes:

 11: Send, to the terminal, indication information that carries a new identifier of the terminal, where the indication information is used to instruct the terminal to determine a specific PDCCH search space of the terminal according to the new identifier.

 The indication information indicating that the terminal determines the terminal's proprietary PDCCH search space according to the new identifier may be sent to the terminal at each layer of the radio interface protocol, for example, a data link layer, a physical layer, or a network layer.

 12: After receiving the acknowledgement information returned by the terminal according to the indication message, determining a unique PDCCH search space of the terminal according to the new identifier of the terminal.

 After receiving the indication information sent by the base station, the terminal returns an acknowledgement information to the base station according to the indication information. When the base station receives the acknowledgement information, it indicates that the new identity of the terminal is valid.

 After receiving the acknowledgment information sent by the terminal, the base station re-determines the terminal-specific PDCCH search space according to the new identifier of the terminal, and places the PDCCH command sent by the terminal in an available location in the search space for the terminal to Obtained in this search space.

 Specifically, the base station determines, according to the new identifier of the terminal, a starting point of the terminal's private PDCCH search space, and starts from the starting point, and blindly checks 1, 2, 4, or 8 (depending on the aggregation level of the PDCCH) consecutive CCEs. Whether it is idle, if idle, the PDCCH is placed at the location of the idle CCE. For four PDCCH sizes occupying 1, 2, 4, and 8 CCEs, a PDCCH of one CCE may start from an arbitrary CCE position; a PDCCH of two CCEs starts from an even CCE position; and a PDCCH of four CCEs is an integer multiple of four The CCE position starts; the PDCCH of 8 CCEs starts from an integer multiple of CCE position of 8.

 The terminal in the connected state calculates the starting point of the proprietary PDCCH search space according to the new identifier sent in the indication information of the base station when detecting the PDCCH. According to the aggregation level of the PDCCH, 1, 2, 4 or 8 consecutive CCEs are blindly detected from the starting point. If a CCE has data, the PDCCH sent by the base station is obtained therefrom.

The size of the PDCCH search space is determined according to Table 1. As shown in Table 1, assuming that the dedicated PDCCH of one terminal occupies only one CCE, the dedicated PDCCH search space of the terminal is six CCEs. According to the existing PDCCH search space determining method, the terminal acquires the starting point of the PDCCH search space as Ζ _κ , and searches for the PDCCH sent by the base station to the terminal among the six CCEs after the starting point. If the z obtained by the six terminals is the same, the search space does not conflict at this time, because the search space has 6 CCEs, and the PDCCH of 6 terminals can be placed.

 However, according to the existing PDCCH search space determining method, 10 terminals having different C-RNTIs may have a starting point of the search space corresponding to a ^. Although the base station tries to avoid the collision of the dedicated PDCCH search space between the terminals when the PDCCH search space is allocated to the terminal, the channel of the terminal is constantly changing in the mobile network, and the PDCCH search space can still be accommodated in the subsequent The number of PDCCHs of the terminal is limited, resulting in a phenomenon that the PDCCH cannot be transmitted to the terminal. As described above, only six terminals can be accommodated in the space, and four terminals cannot store the PDCCH. The base station cannot place the PDCCH in the search space of the PDCCH corresponding to the terminal, and thus the PDCCH cannot be sent to the terminal. The efficiency of data transmission between the base station and the terminal is reduced.

A method for determining a physical downlink control channel search space provided by this embodiment generates a rush in a dedicated PDCCH search space of a terminal and a dedicated PDCCH search space of other terminals in the cell. The base station sends indication information to the terminal to indicate that the terminal re-determines the starting point of the terminal's proprietary PDCCH search space according to the new identifier when detecting the PDCCH. Therefore, the terminal obtains the PDCCH command sent by the base station from the starting point, which reduces the collision of the dedicated PDCCH search space between the terminals in the cell, and improves the data transmission efficiency between the base station and the terminal.

 In the step 11 of the foregoing embodiment, there are four specific manners for the base station to send the indication information to the terminal, which are specifically described in steps 22, 32, 42 and 52 of the following embodiments 3 to 6. In the LTE system, the terminal identifier is called C-RNTI. In the following embodiments, the C-RNTI is used to represent the identifier of the terminal.

 2a is a flow chart of another embodiment of a method for determining a physical downlink control channel search space according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2a, this embodiment includes:

 21: The base station determines whether a collision occurs between the private PDCCH search space of the first terminal and other terminal-specific PDCCH search spaces in the cell except the first terminal.

 Before the base station sends the PDCCH order to the first terminal, if the starting point of the first terminal-specific PDCCH search space is the same as the starting point of the other terminal-specific PDCCH search space in the cell except the first terminal, the exclusive PDCCH search of the first terminal The space conflicts with other terminals except the first terminal, that is, the number of terminals in the search space starting from the start point has reached the maximum number of terminals that can be accommodated.

 22: When the private PDCCH of the first terminal conflicts with the private PDCCH search space of the other terminal except the first terminal, the base station sends the medium carrying the new C-RNTI to the first terminal at the medium access control layer. Access control packets.

 After the base station receives the acknowledgement information returned by the first terminal according to the MAC data packet, the base station determines the unique PDCCH search space of the first terminal according to the new C-RNTI of the terminal.

After receiving the media access control data packet of the C-RNTI, the first terminal returns the acknowledgement information to the base station. The base station receives the acknowledgement message, indicating that the new C-RNTI has taken effect on the terminal side. Then, the base station re-determines the starting point of the terminal's proprietary PDCCH search space according to the new C-RNTI, thereby The PDCCH search space is newly determined.

 After the base station re-determines the dedicated PDCCH search space for the first terminal, the PDCCH signaling sent by the terminal is placed in the dedicated PDCCH search space determined by the terminal.

 The following is the design method of the MAC packet in step 22:

 At the Media Access Control (MAC) layer, a MAC header that is designed to indicate a new MAC protocol data unit (PDU) for replacing the C-RNTI, and a physical downlink shared channel in the current LTE system. The usage of the Logical Channel ID (LCID) value corresponding to the MAC header is shown in Table 2, where 01011-11011 is a reserved bit, and one of the reserved bits can be selected, for example, replacing the new one with 11011 The C-RNTI Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) is designed to store the MAC CE of the new C-RNTI of the terminal. The format of the MAC CE is shown in Table 3.

 Table 2 LCID corresponding to the MAC header in the physical downlink shared channel

Table 3 indicates that the terminal replaces the MAC CE of the C-RNTI.

11110 DRX Command

 11111 Padding combines the above MAC header and MAC CE into a Media Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU). FIG. 2b is a schematic diagram of a data structure of a MAC data packet in an embodiment of a method for determining a physical downlink control channel search space according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2b, one MAC PDU is composed of one MAC PDU header, zero or more MAC CEs, zero or more Media Access Control Service Data Units (MAC SDUs), one MAC. The header contains zero or more MAC PDU headers, each MAC PDU header corresponds to an adjacent MAC CE, or corresponds to one MAC SDU, or corresponds to one padding bit, and the MAC header is arranged in an order with the MAC CE after the MAC header. , MAC SDU, the order of the padding bits is the same, and respectively - corresponding. The receiving side can obtain the corresponding MAC CE or MAC SDU or the padded format location related information through the MAC PDU header. For example, the read MAC header corresponds to a MAC CE after the MAC header, and the MAC header can be used to determine that the MAC header can be used. Which is the MAC CE.

 The indication information including the new C-RNTI and the replacement C-RNTI is configured to form a MAC PDU packet at the MAC layer, and the MAC PDU packet is sent to the physical layer for processing, and then sent to the terminal that needs to be replaced by the C-RNTI in the subframe. .

 A method for determining a PDCCH search space is provided in this embodiment. When a proprietary PDCCH of a terminal conflicts with other terminals in the cell, the indication information for replacing the C-RNTI and the new C-RNTI are included, and the MAC layer is formed into a MAC layer. The PDU is sent to the physical layer for processing the MAC PDU and then sent to the terminal. When the terminal detects the PDCCH sent by the base station, the start point of the terminal's proprietary PDCCH search space is determined according to the new C-RNTI, so as to acquire the PDCCH from the starting point. In this embodiment, the procedure for replacing the terminal C-RNTI is small, the delay is low, and only the content related to the replacement of the C-RNTI is transmitted, thereby saving resources.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of another embodiment of a method for determining a physical downlink control channel search space according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, this embodiment includes: 31: Determine whether a conflict occurs between the dedicated PDCCH search space of the first terminal and other terminal-specific PDCCH search spaces in the cell except the first terminal.

 32: When the first terminal-specific PDCCH conflicts with other terminals in the cell except the first terminal, the base station sends the radio resource control signaling carrying the new C-RNTI to the first terminal at the radio resource control layer.

 In this embodiment, the radio resource control (RRC) signaling is used to notify the terminal that the C-RNTI needs to be replaced, and the new C-RNTI. Specifically, a new information element (IE) may be added to the RRC connection reconfiguration information, and a new C-RNTI may be written in the new IE. The location of the new IE is based on the LTE version.

 After receiving the acknowledgment information returned by the first terminal according to the RRC connection reconfiguration signaling, the base station determines the proprietary PDCCH search space of the terminal according to the new C-RNTI of the first terminal.

 After receiving the RRC signaling for replacing the C-RNTI, the first terminal returns an acknowledgement message to the base station. A method for determining a PDCCH search space is provided by the embodiment, and when the current PDCCH of the current terminal conflicts with other terminals in the cell, the indication information including the replacement C-RNTI and the new C-RNTI are loaded in the RRC signaling. The RRC signaling for replacing the C-RNTI is sent to the terminal. When the terminal detects that the base station sends the PDCCH, the start point of the terminal-specific PDCCH search space is determined according to the new C-RNTI, so that the PDCCH is acquired from the starting point, so that the process of replacing the terminal C-RNTI is small, the delay is low, and only the Replacing C-RNTI related content saves resources.

 FIG. 4 is a flow chart of another embodiment of a method for determining a physical downlink control channel search space according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, this embodiment includes:

 Step 41: Determine whether a conflict occurs between the private PDCCH search space of the first terminal and other terminal-specific PDCCH search spaces in the cell except the first terminal.

 42: The first terminal-specific PDCCH sends a PDCCH command carrying a new C-RNTI to the first terminal when a collision occurs with a dedicated PDCCH search space of the other terminal than the first terminal in the cell.

In this embodiment, the PDCCH command is used to notify the terminal that the C-RNTI and the new C-RNTI need to be replaced. The different DCI (Downlink Control Information) format indicates the purpose of the corresponding PDCCH. The DCI formats in the existing LTE are DCI 0/1/1A/1B/1C/1D/2/2A/2B/3/3A, which are used for uplink scheduling, downlink scheduling, and power control. The PDCCH command of the C-RNTI can be replaced by the DCI design. One method is to design a DCI format dedicated to replacing the C-RNTI. For example, the DCI4 format is adopted, and the PDCCH of the DCI4 includes a new C-RNTI, and the terminal receives the DCI4 format. The PDCCH can be used to determine the command to replace the C-RNTI. The base station still scrambles with the original C-RNTI of the terminal to the CRC of the PDCCH, and the specific transmission and reception methods may be the same as the PDCCH of other formats being used in LTE.

 Another method is: Using the existing DCI format, taking DCI IB as an example, setting the localized/distributed VRB assignment flag to 0; the value of the t匕 resource block assignment is set to 1; the original DCI 1 B The remaining information bits are used to represent the new C-RNTI.

 After receiving the PDCCH command, the terminal detects the first two field values. If the first part is 0 and the second part has a value of 1, the PDCCH command is a command to replace the C-RNTI, and the remaining bits are represented. New C-RNTI. After the terminal correctly detects the PDCCH command as a command to replace the C-RNTI, the terminal feeds back the acknowledgement information to the base station.

 43: After receiving the acknowledgment information returned by the first terminal according to the PDCCH order, the base station determines, according to the new C-RNTI of the first terminal, the dedicated PDCCH search space of the first terminal.

 The terminal detects the PDCCH, obtains a new C-RNTI after receiving correctly, and feeds back an acknowledgement information, such as an ACK, to the base station.

When the proprietary PDCCH of the current terminal conflicts with other terminals in the cell, the PDCCH command is used to notify the terminal that the C-RNTI and the new C-RNTI need to be replaced. When the terminal detects the PDCCH transmitted by the base station, it determines a starting point of the terminal's dedicated PDCCH search space according to the new C-RNTI, and starts acquiring the PDCCH from the starting point. The PDCCH order can be either the existing DCI format or the newly designed DCI format dedicated to replacing the C-RNTI. In this embodiment, the procedure for replacing the terminal C-RNTI is small, the delay is low, and only the content related to replacing the C-RNTI is sent, which saves resources. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of another embodiment of a method for determining a physical downlink control channel search space according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, this embodiment includes:

 51: Determine whether a conflict occurs between the private PDCCH search space of the first terminal and the proprietary PDCCH search space of the other terminal except the first terminal in the cell.

 52: The first PDCCH search space of the first terminal is notified to the first terminal to initiate random access when it conflicts with the specific PDCCH search space of the other terminal except the first terminal.

 The base station notifies the first terminal to perform random access, and the notification mode may be notified by using a PDCCH command already existing in the LTE, or by using a high layer signaling. Random access can be non-contentious random access or random access.

 53: In the random access process of the first terminal, send the indication information carrying the new C-RNTI to the first terminal.

 When the first terminal initiates the random access procedure, the first terminal sends the indication information carrying the new C-RNTI, and instructs the first terminal to determine the dedicated PDCCH search space according to the new C-RNTI.

 54: Determine, according to the new C-RNTI of the first terminal, a dedicated PDCCH search space of the first terminal.

 The indication information is sent in the random access process of the first terminal, as follows:

 The first terminal determines whether to initiate non-contention random access according to the random access notification of the base station, or initiates random access based on contention.

 In the case of non-contention random access, only the first terminal that needs to replace the C-RNTI is accessing the network. After receiving the random access response sent by the first terminal, the base station sends the random access response information carrying the new C-RNTI to the first terminal. The random access response information is used to notify the first terminal to replace the C-RNTI.

Specifically, the MAC packet of the LTE random access response is as shown in Table 4. In the general random access, the Temporary C-RNTI domain is not used. If the domain is set to '0, the domain is the existing LTE. The purpose used in the protocol, if set to a valid C-RNTI, indicates that the The machine access is used to replace the C-RNTI, and the content of the domain is the new C-RNTI. When the first terminal receives the random access response information after the random access, if the Temporary C-RNTI field is found to be a valid value, the random access is used to notify the first terminal to replace the C-RNTI. After receiving the new C-RNTI, the terminal feeds back the acknowledgement information to the base station, such as ACK:, and the new C-RNTI takes effect after being confirmed by the base station.

 Table 4 MAC packets for random access response

 If the contention is random access, multiple terminals may initiate random access to the base station at the same time, and the base station has notified the terminal that needs to replace the C-RNTI to initiate random access; the MAC packet of the random access response sent by the base station is as shown in the table. 4, where the Temporary C-RNTI can be used to indicate the value of the new C-RNTI; possibly multiple terminals can receive the random access response information sent by the base station, and the terminal sends the C-RNTI that is being used by the terminal to the base station; The base station determines whether it is the first terminal that needs to replace the C-RNTI according to the C-RNTI of the terminal, and if yes, sends a new C-RNTI to the first terminal.

 A method for determining a PDCCH search space is provided in this embodiment. When a proprietary PDCCH of a terminal conflicts with other terminals in the cell, the terminal is notified of the C-RNTI and the new C-RNTI in the random access procedure, so that the terminal is used. When detecting the PDCCH sent by the base station, the starting point of the terminal's proprietary PDCCH search space is determined according to the new C-RNTI, so as to acquire the PDCCH from the starting point. In this embodiment, the terminal may compete for the random access procedure, or may notify the terminal C-RNTI during the non-contention random access procedure of the terminal. Replacing the terminal C-RNTI has fewer processes and delays, and only sends and replaces C-RNTI-related content, saving resources.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of another embodiment of a method for determining a physical downlink control channel search space according to the present invention. The execution body of this embodiment is a terminal. As shown in FIG. 6, this embodiment includes: Step 61: The terminal receives the indication information that is sent by the base station and carries the new identifier of the terminal.

 The indication information is used to instruct the terminal to determine the terminal's proprietary physical downlink control channel search space according to the new identifier.

 Step 62: Return confirmation information to the base station according to the indication information, and determine a dedicated physical downlink control channel search space of the terminal according to the new identifier.

 The terminal returns confirmation information to the base station according to the indication information. The base station receives the acknowledgement message, indicating that the new identity of the terminal is valid.

 For a detailed description of the present embodiment, refer to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and details are not described herein again. In step 61, the terminal may receive the indication information sent by the base station in any layer of the radio interface protocol layer, and the specific manners are as follows:

 The first type: At the MAC layer, the MAC data packet sent by the base station and carrying the new identifier of the terminal is received. For details, refer to the description in the corresponding embodiment in FIG. 2, and details are not described herein again.

 The second type: At the RRC layer, the RRC connection reconfiguration signaling sent by the base station and carrying the new identifier of the terminal is received. For details, refer to the description in the corresponding embodiment in FIG. 3, and details are not described herein again.

 The third type: at the physical layer, receiving PDCCH signaling sent by the base station and carrying the new identifier of the terminal. For details, refer to the description in the corresponding embodiment in FIG. 4, and details are not described herein again.

 The fourth type: In the process of random access of the terminal, receiving indication information that is sent by the base station and carries a new identifier of the terminal. For details, refer to the description in the corresponding embodiment in FIG. 5, and details are not described herein again.

 A method for determining a PDCCH search space is provided by the embodiment. When a PDCCH search space of a terminal conflicts with a private PDCCH search space of another terminal in the cell, the terminal receives the indication information sent by the base station, where the indication information indicates When detecting the PDCCH, the terminal determines the proprietary PDCCH search space of the terminal according to the new identifier. Therefore, the terminal obtains the PDCCH command sent by the base station from the space, which reduces the collision of the dedicated PDCCH search space between the terminals in the cell, and improves the data transmission efficiency between the base station and the terminal.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of another embodiment of a method for determining a physical downlink control channel search space according to the present invention. The execution entity of this embodiment is a base station, and may also be a terminal. As shown in FIG. 7, this embodiment Includes:

 Step 71: Obtain dynamic information related to the terminal and change with time.

 The dynamic information is the product of the system frame number and the identifier of the terminal, or a pseudo-random number generated by a predetermined random seed and pseudo-random number generation method.

 The system frame number is different, and thus, the product of the terminal's identification and the system frame number is related to the terminal and changes with time. In addition, the base station and the terminal may agree on a random seed and a method for generating a random number in advance. When calculating the terminal-specific PDCCH search space, the base station and the terminal generate a pseudo-random number according to an agreed manner, so the pseudo-random numbers generated by the two parties are the same.

 In this embodiment, a method and a parameter for determining a terminal-specific PDCCH search space by a base station. For example, the base station determines "the product of the identity of the terminal and the system frame number" as a parameter for calculating the terminal-specific PDCCH search space. Then, when detecting the PDCCH, the terminal calculates the proprietary PDCCH search space according to the same method as the base station and the same parameter (the product of the identifier of the terminal and the system frame number).

 Step 72: Determine the terminal's proprietary PDCCH search space according to the identifier of the terminal and the dynamic information.

 The identifier of the terminal may be the C-RNTI of the terminal. The identifier of the terminal and the dynamic information are used together as a parameter for calculating the terminal-specific search space, so as to avoid the terminal-specific PDCCH search space calculated by the identifier of the primary terminal, and conflict with other terminal-specific PDCCH search spaces.

 Another method for determining a PDCCH search space provided by this embodiment, together with the dynamic information related to the terminal and the identifier of the terminal, is used as a parameter for determining the terminal-specific PDCCH search space. Since the dynamic information is related to the terminal and changes with time, the probability that the dynamic information is the same for different terminals is extremely small. Therefore, the probability that the terminal-specific PDCCH search space is determined to collide according to the dynamic information is also extremely small.

 FIG. 8 is a flow chart of another embodiment of a method for determining a physical downlink control channel search space according to the present invention. On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, if the dynamic information is the product of the identifier of the terminal and the system frame number, the embodiment includes:

Step 81: Obtain the system frame number. The base station periodically notifies the terminal system frame number through the non-dynamic broadcast mode.

 Step 82: Obtain the product of the system frame number and the identifier of the terminal.

 Step 83: Obtain a first hash value according to the identifier of the terminal and the product of the system frame number and the identifier of the terminal.

 In step 83, obtaining the first hash value includes: identifying the terminal, and multiplying the system frame number by the identifier of the terminal, performing a modulo operation, and acquiring the first hash value. Specifically, formula 1 is used to obtain the first hash value.

Z _K = (Y _K + SFN _num * C - RNTI) modfloor(N _CCE /L _PDCCH ) , (Formula 1) where * }^— _{ι η} ιο 1Ζ , Κ denotes the subframe number, Υ_ _χ = {C - RNTI} , A = 39827, D = 65537, mod means that in addition to the remainder operation, floor means rounding down, N _CC£ means sub-frame K, that is, the system frame number is divided by 10 milliseconds, and further each of 10 milliseconds One millisecond is the number of CCEs in one subframe; £ _Ρΰ ^ indicates the number of CCEs used to transmit the PDCCH, and the candidate value is {1, 2, 4, 8}, CCE is the minimum resource unit for transmitting PDCCH, and S^ is the system frame. number. The input parameters are the product of the C-RNTI of the terminal and the current system frame number, the C-RNTI of the terminal, the Aggregation Level, the number of CCEs in one subframe, and the subframe number.

 Step 84: Determine, according to the first hash value, a terminal's proprietary PDCCH search space.

The product of the identifier of the terminal and the system frame number as the parameter of Equation 1 can greatly reduce the probability that the Ζ _κ values calculated by different terminals are the same. The first hash value Ζ _{κ is} used as a starting point of the terminal-specific search space, and the base station places the PDCCH in a certain CCE after the starting point; the terminal blindly detects a plurality of CCEs from the starting point, if the terminal is placed therein The PDCCH is taken out.

 Another method for determining a PDCCH search space provided by this embodiment combines a system frame number with a terminal C-RNTI as a parameter for calculating a PDCCH search space. Since the system frame number is changed with time, the system frame number is combined with the C-RNTI of the terminal to calculate the PDCCH search space, which can reduce the probability that the PDCCH search space of different terminals is hashed to the same location, thereby facilitating the improvement of the base station. The efficiency of transferring data with the terminal.

FIG. 9 is another flow chart of a method for determining a physical downlink control channel search space according to the present invention; Cheng Tu. The dynamic information in this embodiment is a pseudo random number generated by the base station and the terminal according to a pre-agreed method. As shown in FIG. 9, this embodiment includes:

 Step 91: Generate a pseudo random number according to a pre-agreed random seed and pseudo random number generation method.

 Step 92: Obtain a second hash value according to the identifier of the terminal and the pseudo random number.

 In step 92, obtaining the second hash value includes: performing a modulo operation on the identifier of the terminal and the pseudo random number to obtain a second hash value. Specifically, using Equation 2, the second hash value is obtained.

_{κ κ} = (Υ _κ + PSN) modfloor(N _CCE IL _PDCCH ) (Formula 2) where ^^ i^ modD ; K denotes a subframe number; —! = {C-i3⁄4W7} ; Α = 39827, D = 65537; mod means to save the remainder; floor means rounding; N ^ means the number of CCEs in subframe K; £ _Ρΰ ^ means CCEs used to transmit PDCCH Number, candidate value is {1, 2, 4, 8}; CCE is the minimum resource unit for transmitting PDCCH; PSN is pseudo-random number. The input of the modulo operation includes: generating the pseudo random number, the C-RNTI of the terminal, the Aggregation Level, the total number of CCEs in one subframe, and the subframe number.

Since the pseudo-random numbers generated by different terminals are different, the probability that Ζ _{κ is} calculated by Equation 2 is extremely small.

 Step 93: Determine a terminal-specific PDCCH search space according to the second hash value.

The second hash value Ζ _{κ is} used as the starting point of the terminal-specific search space. For the base station, the PDCCH is placed in a certain CCE after the starting point; for the terminal, a number of CCEs are blindly detected from the starting point, and if the PDCCH is placed therein, the PDCCH is taken out.

 This embodiment provides another method for determining a PDCCH search space, and uses a pseudo random number as a parameter for calculating a PDCCH search space. Since the pseudo-random numbers are different according to different random seeds of different terminals, the generated pseudo-random numbers are also different. Therefore, the PDCCH search space is calculated according to the pseudo-random number, and the PDCCH search space hash of different terminals can be reduced to the same. The probability of location, thereby facilitating the efficiency of data transmission between the base station and the terminal.
