Carrier control domain configuration method and apparatus

The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for configuration control domain carrier, wherein said carrier control domain configuration method comprising: the network side configures the resource information of another portion of the carrier control region occupied by the portion of the carrier paired carriers. In the present invention, the non-backward compatible to support UE listens to the carrier according to the carrier on the backward compatible non-backward compatible carriers occupied by the control domain resource information, using the non-backward compatible carrier scheduling their business data. The present invention improves the robustness of the carriers of multi-carrier system, such that the carrier can be controlled by the carrier to the inner configuration of the domain can be configured for different scenarios, improves the efficiency of carrier resources, and increase the flexibility of multi-carrier system.
