摘要:
In one aspect thereof the exemplary embodiments provide a method that includes, when in a time division duplex mode of operation with a user equipment, allocating physical uplink control channel resources by reserving physical uplink control channel resources with a granularity of one acknowledge/negative acknowledge (ACK/NACK) bundle; and sending an indication of the allocated physical uplink control channel resources from a network access node to the user equipment.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method is described, by which a component carrier configuration, re-configuration, activation or de-activation is performed. In particular, a signaling format used for acknowledgment/negative acknowledgement messages on an uplink control channel is detected, and a codebook size of the acknowledgment/negative acknowledgement messages is decided based on the detected signaling format.

In a first aspect of the invention there is a method, apparatus, and executable software product for receiving scheduling information, determining that at least one downlink allocation of the scheduling information was not received, sending a reply to the received scheduling that comprises an indication of discontinuous transmission in response to the determining. In another aspect of the invention there is a method an apparatus to send scheduling information, and receive a reply to the scheduling information comprising an indication of discontinuous transmission that at least one downlink allocation of the scheduling information was not received.
摘要:
A method of configuring a component carrier comprises determining how timings of receiving and / or sending data for at least two aggregated component carriers in at least one time period are related; and setting the timing of receiving and / or sending data for the at least two aggregated component carriers based on the determining.

It is determined that there are X uplink control channel resources available for uplink signaling. Each of those X uplink control channel resources are sub-channelized into a plurality of sub-channels that each defines a unique time instant or point in time. For each of Y units of control information there is selected a unique combination of one of the sub-channels and a modulation (X and Y are each integers greater than one). The Y units of control information are sent on the X uplink control channel resources according to the respectively selected combinations. By example the uplink resources may be an ACK/NAK/DTX bit on a PUCCH. In one example the sub-channels are individual slots of a PUCCH. In another example the sub-channels are the reference-signal part and the data part of a single PUCCH slot.

There is provided a method including performing frequency domain acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NAK) bundling across component carriers within a user equipment reception bandwidth; generating a bundled ACK/NAK value corresponding to at least one code word on the basis of the performed ACK/NAK bundling; and including information relating to the generated bundled ACK/NAK value and the number of detected downlink grants within the user equipment reception bandwidth in an ACK/NAK resource to be transmitted on an uplink control channel.
摘要:
For an initial period after informing a user equipment of a change in the number of carriers configured for transmissions from a transmitting device to the user equipment from a first carrier set to a second carrier set, wherein at least one of the first and second carrier sets contains a plurality of carriers: refraining from scheduling data transmissions to said user equipment on one or more carriers other than those common to both said first and second carrier sets; and decoding feedback information received from said user equipment using a number of code basis sequences according to the number of carriers common to both said first and second carrier sets.
摘要:
An approach is provided for acknowledgement bundling. Dynamically scheduling of one or more of subframes per bundling window is performed by reusing an assignment index field (e.g., downlink assignment index (DAI) field). The assignment index field has a value greater than or equal to number of previously assigned subframes within the bundling window. The bundling window defines a group of subframes for common acknowledgement.
