Abstract:
Techniques are described for compressing the PUCCH resources reserved for acknowledging downlink data transmissions when those resources are implicitly signaled by EPDCCHs that schedule the downlink transmissions in TDD mode. An acknowledgement resource offset field transmitted in the EPDCCH is configured to correspond to one or more values that compress the region in PUCCH resource index space that would otherwise be reserved for the subframes of a bundling window.

Claim (Index 2):
A user equipment (UE) comprising\n processing and receiver circuitry to receive downlink control information (DCI) on an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) that includes indexed enhanced control channel elements (ECCEs), the DCI to schedule a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resource for a downlink subframe;\n receive an acknowledgment resource offset (ARO) value in an ARO field of the DCI that instructs the UE to shift the PUCCH resource index by an amount equal to the value of the ARO; \n determine a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource index to acknowledge PDSCH transmissions as a function of the lowest ECCE index used to construct the EPDCCH; wherein the value of the ARO field corresponds to an ARO value to shift the PUCCH resource index to a range used for acknowledging PDSCH transmissions in the earliest subframe of the bundling window, and wherein, for a downlink subframe having a relative index m between 0 and M\u22121 with M being the number of subframes in the bundling window and with m=0 representing the earliest subframe, the PUCCH resource index n PUCCH (1)  is used to determine the resource block pair, cyclic shift.
