Claim:
1. A method comprising: receiving a first set of data of a single subframe in a first downlink subframe on a first downlink frequency; while receiving the first set of data, receiving a second set of data of a single subframe in the first downlink subframe on a second downlink frequency; transmitting a first signal responsive to the first set of data in a first time slot of a first uplink frequency on a first uplink subframe, not transmitting the first signal in a second time slot of the first uplink subframe on the first uplink frequency, and not transmitting the first signal in the first uplink subframe on a second uplink frequency; and transmitting a second signal responsive to the second set of data in the second time slot of the first uplink subframe on the second uplink frequency, not transmitting the second signal in the first time slot of the first uplink subframe on the second uplink frequency, and not transmitting the second signal in the first uplink subframe on the first uplink frequency; wherein the first downlink frequency, the second downlink frequency, the first uplink frequency and the second uplink frequency are each different frequencies; wherein each of the first and second time slots is smaller than the first uplink subframe; wherein the first and second time slots in the first uplink subframe do not overlap; wherein transmitting the first signal comprises transmitting the first signal over a Physical Uplink Control Channel (“PUCCH”) using a first PUCCH format, the method further comprising: receiving, on the first downlink frequency, a third set of data of a single subframe in a second downlink subframe from a first base station; and transmitting, on the first uplink frequency, a third signal responsive to the third set of data over a PUCCH using a second PUCCH format on both time slots of a second uplink subframe.
