Patent attributes
In a control channel resource transmission method, user equipment (UE) obtains a configuration parameter in a candidate control channel set according to a preset protocol and/or higher-layer signaling sent by a base station, where the higher-layer signaling is used to notify the configuration parameter. The UE determines an antenna port according to the obtained configuration parameter, and then receives, through the antenna port, a control channel or a control channel element sent by the base station. The base station determines the antenna port according to the same configuration parameter as that of the user equipment, and sends, by using the antenna port, the control channel or the control channel element to the user equipment.
