Patent ID: 8837410

Claim:
A method in a mobile terminal for simultaneous reporting of channel-state information and hybrid-ARQ ACK/NACK information in uplink subframes, the method comprising: determining that first channel-state information and first hybrid-ARQ ACK/NACK bits corresponding to a plurality of downlink subframes or a plurality of downlink carriers, or both, are scheduled for transmission in a first uplink subframe; determining whether the number of the first hybrid-ARQ ACK/NACK bits is less than or equal to a threshold number; and transmitting both the first channel-state information and the first hybrid-ARQ ACK/NACK bits in physical control channel resources of the first uplink subframe, on a single carrier, in response to determining that the number of hybrid-ARQ ACK/NACK bits to be transmitted in the first uplink subframe is less than or equal to the threshold number.
