Abstract:
1. A method of operating a user equipment, comprising: selecting control information to be transmitted in an uplink control channel format in a component carrier of a plurality of component carriers, the control information comprising information types associated with different information reliability requirements, wherein a first information type comprises channel quality indicator (CQI) for the plurality of component carriers and wherein a second information type comprises acknowledgment (ACK) or negative acknowledgment (NAK) information for the plurality of component carriers; generating at least one of an open-loop power control parameter or a closed-loop power control parameter based at least in part on a number of ACK bits or NAK bits for the plurality of component carriers, a number of CQI bits for the plurality of component carriers, and a ratio of the ACK bits or the NAK bits to the CQI bits; and transmitting the control information in the uplink control channel format at a power level determined by at least one of the open-loop power control parameter or the closed-loop power control parameter;
