Abstract:
In accordance with the exemplary embodiments of the invention there is a method, executable computer program, and apparatus for determining that an acknowledgment is to be sent, and for the case where there is also a scheduling request to be sent, combining the acknowledgment with the scheduling request on a scheduling resource, else placing the acknowledgment in another resource. In accordance with another exemplary embodiment of the invention there is a method, executable computer program, and apparatus for receiving information on a scheduling resource, and determining that the information received on the scheduling resource includes an acknowledgment. Further, in accordance with the exemplary embodiments of the invention there is a method, executable computer program, and apparatus for determining that a scheduling request resource and at least one other resource are reserved for a user equipment in a same sub-frame, and based on whether a scheduling request is desired to be transmitted by the user equipment, placing at least one of an acknowledgment/negative acknowledgement and a channel quality indicator that is desired to be transmitted by the user equipment in one of the resources and leaving at least one other resource unused.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and computer programs for NR PUCCH coverage extension are disclosed. A plurality of slots to be allocated for a user equipment may be determined by a base station. One or more control data blocks in one or more of the slots may be mapped to at least one of: a short physical uplink control channel and a long physical uplink control channel based on a type of the one or more slots, wherein the type of the slots includes one of: an uplink-only slot; a bi-directional, uplink slot; and a bi-directional, downlink slot. The plurality of slots may be allocated to the user equipment, and uplink control information on the one or more control data blocks may be received from the user equipment.

Abstract:
In a telecommunication system, a method of controlling and implementing uplink transmission schemes specifically for user equipment having multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) capability, comprising: initialising said scheme at a network element; forwarding a message from said network element to said terminal indicating said scheme; transmitting uplink signals according to said scheme. It may comprises selecting a precoding arrangement such as a Transmitted Precoding Matrix Indicator or other scheduling grant information.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and computer program for controlling allocation of control message fields in uplink transmission in a cellular telecommunication system are presented. Uplink control message fields are allocated to the resources of a physical uplink shared traffic channel according to an uplink transmission scheme selected for a user terminal. The control message fields are allocated so that transmission performance of the control messages is optimized for the selected uplink transmission scheme.
Abstract:
In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes: transmitting a value from an access node towards an apparatus, where the value is indicative of a size of a first portion of an uplink resource block, where the uplink resource block is shared among a plurality of apparatus, where the first portion is specified for transmission of a first type of signaling to the access node, where a second portion of the uplink resource block is specified for transmission of a second type of signaling to the access node; and receiving at least one transmission using at least one of the first portion and the second portion.
