Abstract:
Embodiments of a system and method for providing dynamic hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) transmission with enhanced physical downlink control channels are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a receiver is arranged to receive, on an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH), one of a lowest control channel element index (nCCE) and a lowest enhanced control channel element index (neCCE), a user equipment specific starting offset (NPUCCH(1)) and at least one additional offset-related parameter. A processor determines allocation of an uplink resource of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for HARQ-ACK transmission based the one of a lowest control channel element index (nCCE) and a lowest enhanced control channel element index (neCCE), the user equipment specific starting offset (NPUCCH(1)) and at least one selected from the at least one additional offset-related parameter. A transmitter transmits a signal on the PUCCH using the allocated uplink resource.
