Claim Text:
1. A method in a mobile terminal configured for simultaneous reporting of channel-state information bits and hybrid-ARQ ACK/NACK bits for multiple downlink subframes, the method comprising, for each of a first plurality of reporting instances: calculating a power control offset parameter as a linear combination of at least a number N, representing a number of channel-state information bits, and a number M, representing a number of hybrid-ARQ ACK/NACK bits; calculating a power level for a transmission on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), wherein the power level is calculated as a minimum of a configured transmit power and a sum of parameters, wherein one of the parameters in the sum is the power control offset parameter; and transmitting encoded channel-state information and hybrid-ARQ ACK/NACK bits according to the calculated power level.
