The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for receiving downlink signals in a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for receiving downlink signals in a wireless communication and an apparatus incorporating the same, wherein the method comprises the steps of: receiving a sub frame having two slots; blind decoding a plurality of R-PDCCH (Relay Physical Downlink Control Channel) candidates in order to receive control data from the search space of a first slot; and determining whether the R-PDCCH conveys control data for downlink transmission or uplink transmission when R-PDCCH was detected in the search space, wherein the control data for the downlink transmission and uplink transmission have an equal size of data.
