Abstract:
A method of transmitting an acknowledgment signal in a mobile telecommunications system, the system including a base station and a terminal operable to communicate with the base station via a wireless interface, the wireless interface having a first frequency band and a second frequency band, wherein the first frequency band is different from the second frequency band. The method includes: determining that, at a time t, an acknowledgment signal is to be transmitted by the base station to the terminal in the second frequency band; and if it is determined that, at the time t, a downlink signal is to be transmitted to the terminal, wherein the downlink signal is to be transmitted to the terminal in a first frequency band, then transmitting a multiplexed signal by multiplexing the acknowledgment signal with the downlink signal and transmitting the multiplexed signal in the first frequency band.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 1  wherein the multiplexing of the acknowledgment signal with the downlink signal comprises one or more of:\n multiplexing the acknowledgment signal with the downlink signal at a resource element mapping level; \n multiplexing the acknowledgment signal with the downlink signal prior to a rate matching stage; \n multiplexing the acknowledgment signal with the downlink signal after a turbo coding stage; \n multiplexing the acknowledgment signal with the downlink signal prior to a scrambling stage; \n multiplexing the acknowledgment signal with the downlink signal after a rate matching stage; \n multiplexing the acknowledgment signal with the downlink signal prior to a Cyclic Redundancy Check \u201cCRC\u201d stage; and \n multiplexing the acknowledgment signal with the downlink signal at a \u201cCRC\u201d stage wherein the CRC for the downlink signal is masked by a mask which is dependent on the acknowledgment signal carrying a positive or a negative acknowledgment.
