Claim 8:
9. An apparatus for use in a wireless network, comprising:
a processor operable to execute instructions, coupled to a memory containing instructions for the processor;
a radio receiver and a transmitter coupled to the processor;
wherein the receiver is operable to:
receive a scheduling request indicator (SRI) cycle period for use by user equipment (UE) within a cell;
receive a specific SRI subframe offset;
receiving an index value; and

wherein the processor is operable to determine a unique combination of cyclic shift, RS orthogonal cover, data orthogonal cover, and resource block number to use as a unique physical resource for an SRI in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) according to the specific SRI subframe offset and the index value.
