Abstract:
1. A method in a mobile terminal for simultaneous reporting of channel-state information and hybrid-ARQ ACK/NACK information in a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) wireless network, the method comprising: determining that a periodic channel-state information report and more than two ACK/NACK bits are scheduled for a first uplink subframe, while the mobile terminal is configured to report hybrid-ARQ ACK/NACK information using Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) Format 1b resources; selecting a first uplink control channel resource from a set of two or more pre-configured uplink control channel resources, based on an information field in a first downlink control message received by the mobile terminal and corresponding to the first uplink subframe; encoding the periodic channel-state information report and the multiple ACK/NACK bits according to a format compatible with all of the uplink control channel resources in the set of pre-configured uplink control channel resources; and transmitting the encoded periodic channel-state information report and multiple ACK/NACK bits in the first uplink control channel resource of the first uplink subframe.
