The invention discloses a downlink
control channel detection method, a terminal and a
base station. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining first auxiliary information and second auxiliaryinformation sent by the
base station, wherein the first auxiliary information is used for indicating a
time domain duration of a control resource set where a downlink
control channel allocated by thebase
station is located, and the second auxiliary information is used for indicating a resource mapping manner from a
resource element group REG of the control resource set to a
control channel element CCE; and performing blind detection on the downlink control channel according to the first auxiliary information and the second auxiliary information. The terminal disclosed by the invention determines a blind detection range of the downlink control channel in combination with the first auxiliary information that indicates the
time domain duration of the control resource set where the downlinkcontrol channel is located and the second auxiliary information that indicates the resource mapping manner from the
resource element group REG of the control resource set to the control channel element CCE, and performs the blind detection on the corresponding control resource set, in order to reduce the blind detection complexity of the downlink control channel by the terminal.
