Abstract:
Methods and systems for transmitting uplink control information and feedback are disclosed for carrier aggregation systems. A user equipment device may be configured to transmit uplink control information and other feedback for several downlink component carriers using one or more uplink component carriers. The user equipment device may be configured to transmit such data using a physical uplink control channel rather than a physical uplink shared channel. The user equipment device may be configured to determine the uplink control information and feedback data that is to be transmitted, the physical uplink control channel resources to be used to transmit the uplink control information and feedback data, and how the uplink control information and feedback data may be transmitted over the physical uplink control channel.

Claim (Index 32):
A user equipment (UE) comprising:\n a processor configured to at least:\n generate a set of input bits associated with feedback information, wherein the feedback information comprises one or more acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) bits; \n on a condition that transmission of the feedback information coincides with transmission of a scheduling request (SR), appending an SR bit to the set of input bits associated with the feedback information; \n jointly encode the bits associated with the feedback information and the appended SR bit into jointly encoded control information bits; \n scramble the jointly encoded control information bits to generate scrambled control information bits; \n modulate the scrambled control information bits to generate modulated symbols; \n determining a first orthogonal sequence index and a second orthogonal sequence index;\n spread the modulated symbols block-wise using a first orthogonal sequence indicated by the first orthogonal sequence index and a second orthogonal sequence indicated by the second orthogonal sequence index; and \n transmit the block-wise spread modulated symbols associated with the jointly coded control information bits on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).
