A method of wireless communication at a communication device, comprising: receiving an indication to use multiple subframes to send uplink control information; coding the uplink control information over the multiple subframes as a result of receiving the indication; and sending the coded uplink control information via the multiple subframes; characterized in that the sending the coded uplink control information comprises: transmitting acknowledgement information of a current downlink-centric self-contained subframe in an uplink acknowledgement portion of the current downlink-centric self-contained subframe; bundling acknowledgement information bits of multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes and encoding the bundled acknowledgement information bits to generate parity acknowledgement bits associated with systematic acknowledgement bits; transmitting the systematic acknowledgement bits in each uplink acknowledgement portion of the multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes; and transmitting the parity acknowledgement bits associated with the acknowledgement information bits of the multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes in an uplink-centric self-contained subframe that is sequentially subsequent to the multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes. receiving an indication to use multiple subframes to send uplink control information; coding the uplink control information over the multiple subframes as a result of receiving the indication; and sending the coded uplink control information via the multiple subframes; characterized in that the sending the coded uplink control information comprises: transmitting acknowledgement information of a current downlink-centric self-contained subframe in an uplink acknowledgement portion of the current downlink-centric self-contained subframe; bundling acknowledgement information bits of multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes and encoding the bundled acknowledgement information bits to generate parity acknowledgement bits associated with systematic acknowledgement bits; transmitting the systematic acknowledgement bits in each uplink acknowledgement portion of the multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes; and transmitting the parity acknowledgement bits associated with the acknowledgement information bits of the multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes in an uplink-centric self-contained subframe that is sequentially subsequent to the multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes. transmitting acknowledgement information of a current downlink-centric self-contained subframe in an uplink acknowledgement portion of the current downlink-centric self-contained subframe; bundling acknowledgement information bits of multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes and encoding the bundled acknowledgement information bits to generate parity acknowledgement bits associated with systematic acknowledgement bits; transmitting the systematic acknowledgement bits in each uplink acknowledgement portion of the multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes; and transmitting the parity acknowledgement bits associated with the acknowledgement information bits of the multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes in an uplink-centric self-contained subframe that is sequentially subsequent to the multiple downlink-centric self-contained subframes.
