Title: Separate ACK/NACK channel from a control channel
Inventor: MITRA DIPTENDU
IPC: H04Q7/38
Filed: 2006-06-20
Abstract: Uplink and downlink scheduling information transmitted on a control channel to a mobile device requires varying content depending on the current state of the device. For instance an ACK/NACK message may or may not be required, resulting in different control channel sizes. The invention relates to fixing control channel sizes by transmitting ACK/NACK messages on a separate channel that is different from the control channel. A direct mapping function is preferably used to determine the sub-carriers to be used for the ACK/NACK messages from the uplink sub-carriers. This has particular relevance to a orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) communication system.
