Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting a set of acknowledgement bits by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising steps of: transmitting, by the UE, a first subset of acknowledgement bits from the set of acknowledgement bits using a first set of parameters; and transmitting, by the UE, a second subset of acknowledgement bits from the set of acknowledgement bits using a second set of parameters, wherein the first subset of acknowledgement bits and the second subset of acknowledgement bits do not have any common elements, wherein a union of the first subset of acknowledgement bits and the second subset of acknowledgement bits is the set of acknowledgement bits, wherein the first set of parameters includes a first modulation scheme that is used to transmit the first subset of acknowledgement bits, and the second set of parameters includes a second modulation scheme that is used to transmit a bundled acknowledgement bit related to the second subset of acknowledgement bits, wherein the bundled acknowledgement bit has an acknowledgement value if all bits in the second subset of acknowledgement bits have acknowledgement values, and the bundled acknowledgement bit has a negative acknowledgement value if at least one bit in the second subset of acknowledgement bits has the negative acknowledgement value, and wherein the first set of parameters includes a first duration that is one sub-frame and the second set of parameters includes a second duration that is different than one sub-frame.
