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.

1. A radio access network node configured 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 the radio access network node is operable to:
send data blocks to the mobile station using two or more downlink carriers within a single radio block period;send an indication to the mobile station indicating that the mobile station is to use a coding scheme 3 (CS-3) to generate a Packet Downlink Ack/Nack (PDAN) message, and,receive a CS-3 coded PDAN message from the mobile station, wherein the received CS-3 coded PDAN message contains at least one of acknowledgment information and non-acknowledgement information associated with a subset of the sent data blocks.
