Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are described for transmitting acknowledgement information in a communication system. A method includes receiving one or more data TBs in one or more downlink data channels over TTIs; obtaining acknowledgement information comprising four acknowledgement information bits {0, 0, 0, 0}, jointly representing a state of reception results for a plurality of data TBs, wherein a number of the plurality of data TBs is greater than a number of the acknowledgement information bits, a UE is configured for reception of the one or more downlink data channels from two cells, and a number of the TTIs is three or four; Reed-Mueller (RM) encoding the acknowledgement information bits; and transmitting the RM encoded acknowledgement information bits on an uplink data channel. The state of reception results is represented as {NACK, any, any, any} and {NACK/DTX, any, any, any} for a first cell and a second cell of the two cells, respectively, or is represented as {NACK, any, any} and {NACK/DTX, any, any} for the first cell and the second cell, respectively, by the acknowledgement information bits {0, 0, 0, 0}.

Claim (Index 14):
A base station for receiving acknowledgement information in a communication system, the base station comprising:\n a transmitter configured to transmit one or more data transport blocks (TBs) in one or more downlink data channels over transmission time intervals (TTIs); a receiver configured to receive, on an uplink data channel from a user equipment (UE), acknowledgement information comprising four acknowledgement information bits {0, 0, 0, 0}, jointly representing a state of transmission results for the one or more data TBs, wherein a number of the data TBs is greater than a number of the acknowledgement information bits, the UE is configured for reception of the one or more downlink data channels from two cells, and a number of the TTIs is three or four; and a Reed-Mueller (RM) decoder configured to RM decode the received acknowledgement information bits, wherein one of the state of transmission results is represented as {NACK, any, any, any} and {NACK/DTX, any, any, any} for a first cell and a second cell of the two cells, respectively, or represented as {NACK, any, any} and {NACK/DTX, any, any} for the first cell and the second cell, respectively, by the acknowledgement information bits {0, 0, 0, 0}, and wherein the \u2018NACK\u2019 indicates a negative acknowledgement (ACK), the \u2018DTX\u2019 indicates discontinuous transmission, and the \u2018any\u2019 indicates either an ACK or a NACK/DTX.
