An apparatus and method to facilitate provision of acknowledgement signals in a wireless communications network are disclosed herein. An evolved node B (eNodeB) transmits radio resource control (RRC) signals indicating inclusion of an enhanced physical hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ) indicator channel (e-PHICH) in a radio frame. The eNodeB configures the radio frame including the e-PHICH. At least one subframe of the radio frame includes a first resource block (RB) associated with a first UE, a second RB associated with a second UE, and a third RB. The first RB includes a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) control region in a Slot 0 of the subframe and a first enhanced PDCCH (e-PDCCH) allocation in the Slot 0 and in a Slot 1 of the subframe. The e-PHICH allocation is included in the third RB or at least the Slot 1 of the subframe of the first RB. |
