A method comprising:
- receiving one or more data packets wirelessly in one or more downlink transmission opportunities on one or more radio carriers;
- receiving scheduling information comprising an indication of uplink control information to be transmitted related to at least one of the one or more data packets;
- causing wireless transmission of the uplink control information in an uplink transmission opportunity;
- wherein the transmission of the uplink control information comprises a first transmission using one or more resource elements reserved for uplink control information and a second transmission using one or more resource elements shared between uplink control information and uplink user data;
- wherein the scheduling information comprises an indication controlling use of the first transmission and the second transmission in the transmission of the uplink control information;
- wherein the uplink control information comprises feedback information of a hybrid automatic repeat request scheme relating to at least one of the radio carriers and one or more data packets transmitted on the at least one radio carrier in one or more downlink transmission opportunities;
- and
- wherein the scheduling information comprises an indication of one or more processes of the hybrid automatic repeat request scheme indicating one or more data packets transmitted on the at least one radio carrier to be covered by the feedback information and comprises a time window indicating transmission time intervals of a first transmitted and a last transmitted of the one or more data packets transmitted on the at least one radio carrier to be covered by the feedback information.
