Abstract:
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising: determining at least one physical channel selected for a wireless device from among a first physical channel having a first minimum signal-to-noise ratio for reliable reception of the first physical channel and a second physical channel having a second minimum signal-to-noise ratio for reliable reception of the second physical channel, wherein: the second minimum signal-to-noise ratio is lower than the first minimum signal-to-noise ratio, the minimum signal-to-noise ratio of each of the first and second physical channels is determined based at least on a coding scheme and an amount of redundancy for said each physical channel, the first and second physical channels are encoded separately and transmitted on different time frequency resources, the first and second physical channels are available for use for direct communication between the wireless device and a base station, and the first physical channel is transmitted in a control region of a subframe and the second physical channel is transmitted in a data region of the subframe; and exchanging data between the wireless device and the base station on the at least one physical channel, wherein exchanging the data comprises transmitting a different part of control data in each of a plurality of instances of the at least one physical channel.
