Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving r-pdcch

A method for transmitting and receiving the R-PDCCH control channel for the relay in a wireless communication system and apparatus is disclosed. At the base station to transmit the R-PDCCH control channel for the relay in a wireless communication system in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the processor-interleaved control channel elements of a predetermined number (Control Channel Element, CCE), and the interleaved CCE the R-PDCCH one or more virtual resource blocks configured in advance for the transmission (virtual resource block, VRB) in the mapping, and one along the at least one VRB to rules set in advance or more physical resource blocks (physical resource block, PRB) It may be configured to map to. The transmitter may send the R-PDCCH to the relay through the at least one PRB.
