ACK CHANNEL DESIGN FOR EARLY TERMINATION OF R99 DOWNLINK TRAFFIC

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a transmission and transmits an Ack regarding the transmission. A packet transmitting apparatus begins a transmission of a packet and receives an Ack regarding the transmission. The Ack may indicate early decoding of a packet comprised in the transmission. This enables the packet transmitting apparatus to cease transmission of the packet prior to transmission of the entire packet. The Ack may be transmitted using at least one of applying a pre- configured boost to the transmit power of at least a portion of a slot in which the Ack is transmitted, modulating a codeword pattern onto the symbols that would normally be transmitted in the slot, and transmitting the Ack on DPDCH.
