Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for wireless communication. A scheduling message including resource allocation information to allocate a resource for uplink transmission, is received. Data and a pilot are transmitted via the allocated resource for uplink transmission. An ACK/NACK resource is identified based on an index of the allocated resource for uplink transmission and information associated with the transmitted pilot. An ACK/NACK signal is received in response to the transmitted data using the identified ACK/NACK resource.
