Abstract:
PUCCH resource determination for HARQ-ACK transmission in response to ePDCCH-scheduled PDSCH or ePDCCH-indicated SPS release in a TDD radio communication system. Downlink control information (DCI) is received in a downlink subframe via an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (ePDCCH). A resource index for a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource is determined, based on the lowest enhanced Control Channel Element(eCCE) index of the received DCI, a device-specific offset value, and an index i that identifies the downlink subframe in a pre-determined set of one or more downlink subframes associated with an uplink subframe. The PUCCH resource is determined according to a formula that results in a sequential allocation of PUCCH resources in the uplink subframe with respect to the downlink subframes associated with the uplink subframe, for each of a plurality of sets of ePDCCH resources. HARQ feedback is transmitted in the uplink subframe, in the indexed PUCCH resource.

Claim (Index 10):
A network node configured for operation in a wireless communication network and comprising:\n a communication interface configured for communicating one or more wireless devices in the wireless communication network and adapted to transmit downlink control information (DCI) to a wireless device via an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (ePDCCH) in a downlink subframe, the transmitted ePDCCH scheduling a downlink shared channel transmission to the wireless device, and one or more processing circuits configured to control the communication interface, wherein the processing circuits are adapted to: determine a resource index for a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource based on a device-specific offset value previously signaled to the wireless device via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling and an index i, wherein the index i identifies the downlink subframe in a pre-determined set of one or more downlink subframes associated with an uplink subframe, wherein said determining is according to a formula that results in a sequential allocation of PUCCH resources in the uplink subframe with respect to the downlink subframes associated with the uplink subframe, for each of a plurality of sets of ePDCCH resources; and, using the communication interface, receive hybrid automatic-repeat-request (HARQ) feedback in the uplink subframe, using a PUCCH resource corresponding to the resource index.
