CONFIGURATION OF CONTROL CHANNELS IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H04L1/00 H04L5/02 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method, an apparatus and a system for configuring control channels in a mobile communication network and at a mobile station. The invention provides aligning the size of the control channel information of different formats with an equal number of coded control channel information bits and/or modulation symbols for each control channel. The control channels may contain scheduling-related control information. According to another aspect of the invention, a more flexible solution is proposed which allows taking different geometries of mobile stations in a cell into account. Similar to the aspect above, the size of the control channel information is aligned through modulation and/or coding, although the control channel information is aligned to one out of a set of numbers of coded control channel information bits and/or modulation symbols for each control channel.

EFFECT: improved control channel configuration scheme, particularly control channels relating to transmission of user data.
