Patent ID: 10285164

Abstract:
Method and apparatus for reporting feedback information for multi-carrier operation are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is configured with multiple carriers. A base station may allocate an uplink (UL) control channel associated with a single UL carrier, for the WTRU. The base station may transmit, to the WTRU, a plurality of data signals via at least two downlink (DL) carriers using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO), and may receive from the WTRU hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information, for the plurality of data signals transmitted via the at least two DL carriers, on the UL control channel. The HARQ ACK/NACK information may include at least two HARQ ACK/NACKs ANDed together. In addition, the base station may transmit, to the WTRU, information including a set of the DL carriers, each having an associated three bit indicator, for DL data transmission.
