Method and apparatus for ACKCH with repetition in orthogonal systems

摘要

A method and apparatus for a wireless communication system, using a repetition factor to determine how many times a acknowledgement should be repeated in response to receiving a first data transmission, selecting an acknowledgement transmission (ACK TX) pattern, wherein the ACK TX pattern comprises of resources information of a plurality of blocks used for transmitting the first acknowledgement, and transmitting, repeatedly, the acknowledgement according to the ACK TX pattern.

1. A method operable in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
using a repetition factor to determine how many times a first acknowledgement should be repeatedly transmitted, the first acknowledgement being transmitted in response to receiving a first data transmission; selecting an acknowledgement transmission (ACK TX) pattern using the repetition factor, wherein the ACK TX pattern comprises frequency and time location of a plurality of blocks used for transmitting the first acknowledgement, wherein selecting the ACK TX pattern comprises selecting a first ACK TX pattern having a plurality of blocks and allocating to each block of the plurality of blocks different time and frequency resources for transmitting the first acknowledgement; and transmitting, repeatedly, the first acknowledgement according to the ACK TX pattern, wherein the transmitting comprises frequency division multiplexing.
