Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Techniques for acknowledging data transmissions in a multi-carrier wireless communication network are disclosed. In one aspect, a UE determines a number of acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) bits for a data transmission on one more component carriers (CCs) based on information obtained from a grant. The grant may be a downlink grant or an uplink grant, and the information obtained may include a number of CCs scheduled for data transmission and/or identifiers of the scheduled CCs. The UE may determine the number of ACK/NACK bits for acknowledging the data transmission based on the number of scheduled CCs and the identifier of each scheduled CC.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for wireless communication, comprising: receiving a grant on a component carrier (CC) in a plurality of CCs configured for a user equipment (UE); determining, based on the grant, a number of scheduled CCs and an identifier of each scheduled CC for the UE; and determining acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information for a data transmission based on the number of scheduled CCs and the identifier of each scheduled CC.…
