An information element including a hybrid acknowledgement map format and a method for using the hybrid acknowledgement format and information element are disclosed. The hybrid acknowledgement map comprises a type flag and a content block, and the value of the type flag indicates the format of the content block. This enables the hybrid acknowledgement map to represent data using multiple formats. The information element including a hybrid acknowledgement map includes a hybrid acknowledgement map and a hybrid quantity field indicating the number of hybrid acknowledgement maps in the information element. A field or multiple fields in the information element header indicate whether or not the information element includes a hybrid acknowledgement map. Information elements using hybrid acknowledgement maps contain more acknowledgment information which reduces transmission of information elements.
