Radio access network node and mobile station with increased Ack/Nack space for packet downlink Ack/Nack message

摘要

A radio access network node (e.g., base station system), a mobile station, and various methods are described herein that increase the size and/or efficiency of an ack/nack bitmap in one or more control messages (e.g., Packet Downlink Ack/Nack message(s)). The mobile station when operating in a Downlink Multi Carrier mode sends the one or more control messages to the radio access network node.

主权项

1. A radio access network node adapted to interact with a mobile station, the radio access network node comprising:
at least one processor; and, at least one memory that stores processor-executable instructions, wherein the at least one processor interfaces with the at least one memory to execute the processor-executable instructions, whereby said radio access network node is operable to:
determine a fixed coding scheme that the mobile station is to use to generate at least one control message;send an indication of the determined fixed coding scheme to the mobile station;send data blocks to the mobile station using two or more downlink carriers within a single radio block period;send a poll indication to the mobile station; and,receive at least one radio block with the at least one control message on an uplink carrier from the mobile station in response to the poll indication, wherein the at least one control message contains at least one of acknowledgment information and non-acknowledgement information associated with a subset of the sent data blocks, wherein the at least one control message is coded with the fixed coding scheme that is a coding scheme 1 (CS-1) or higher.
