DESCRIPTION: As the control region is larger in smaller bandwidth component carriers those smaller bandwidth component carrier could be used a backwards compatible carriers within a 3GPP LTEA Release 10 carrier aggregation scenario where the smaller bandwidth carrier is used for only for LTE Release 8 compatible user equipments.In this scenario the L1L2 control signaling PDCCHs for only those LTE Release 8 compatible user equipments is transmitted in the control signaling region of the smaller bandwidth component carriers while crosscarrier scheduling is used for 3GPP LTEA Release 10 compatible user equipments to assign resources to 3GPP LTEA Release 10 compatible user equipments on the smaller bandwidth component carriers.As the control signaling region on the small bandwidth component carriers will be typically large as less CCEs are available and hence a larger number of OFDM symbols for control signaling is required.Therefore in this embodiment the mapping of the CIF field could be chosen so as to yield only PCFICH values of 3 or 4 when resources are crossscheduled on the smaller bandwidth component carriers to the 3GPP LTEA Release 10 compatible user equipments. CLAIM: The apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 7 wherein the user information of the first UE comprises the amount of data to be transcieved of the UE and air interface channel quality of the UE.
