METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL TRANSMIT DIVERSITY USING MULTIPLE DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL BASED RESOURCE ALLOCATION

摘要

A method and network element for allocating uplink resources for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement at a user equipment (UE), the method indicating a first set of uplink resources to the user equipment; and indicating a first subset of the first set of uplink resources that the UE may transmit upon using a position of a first downlink control channel (DCCH) scheduling a downlink shared channel (DSCH) on a cell. Further, a method at a user equipment (UE) for receiving an allocation of uplink resources for HARQ acknowledgement, the method receiving a first set of uplink resources; deriving a first subset of uplink resources that the UE may transmit upon using downlink control information bits within a first downlink control channel on a primary cell, and deriving a second subset of the first set of uplink resources that the UE may transmit upon within a second downlink control channel.
