Patent attributes
Provided are a base station, user equipment and wireless communication methods related to DCI design for blind detection. A base station comprises: circuitry operative to align, for each DCI of a first group of DCIs, one of the size of the DCI of the first group and the size of a selected DCI of a second group of DC's with the other, if the size of the DCI of the first group is different from the size of each DCI of the second group of DCIs, wherein the selected DCI of the second group is a DCI whose size is closest to the size of the DCI of the first group among DC's of the second group having sizes larger than the size of the DCI of the first group or a DCI whose size is closest to the size of the DCI of the first group among DCIs of the second group having sizes smaller than the size of the DCI of the first group; and a transmitter operative to transmit the first group of DCIs and the second group of DCIs after the size alignment by the circuitry to a user equipment, wherein the size alignment is based on a rule which is known by the base station and the user equipment beforehand.
