Abstract
Communication devices are provided that facilitate receiving information units and providing feedback to other communication devices.
Claims28
A communication device comprising:
- a processor circuit and a memory circuit, wherein the memory is arranged to store instructions for the processor circuit,
- wherein the processor circuit is arranged to receive at least one information units from a plurality of second communication devices,
- wherein the processor circuit is arranged to receive at least one resource allocation message from a third communication device,
- wherein the at least one resource allocation message defines an allocation of bit positions associated with an acknowledgement of the at least one information units in a combined acknowledgement information unit,
- wherein the processor circuit is arranged to transmit a combined acknowledgement information unit in response to a reception of the at least one information units using the allocation of bit positions defined in the at least one resource allocation message.

A communication device comprising:
- a processor circuit and a memory circuit, wherein the memory is arranged to store instructions for the processor circuit,
- wherein the processor circuit is arranged to transmit at least one information units to fifth communication device,
- wherein the processor circuit is arranged to receive at least one resource allocation message from a third communication device,
- wherein the at least one resource allocation message defines an allocation of bit positions associated with an acknowledgement of the at least one information units in a combined acknowledgement information unit, and wherein the processor circuit is arranged to receive a combined acknowledgement information unit,
- wherein the processor circuit is arranged to evaluate a bit at a bit position defined by the at least one resource allocation message so as to derive an information whether at least one information units have been received by the fifth communication device.
2 more elements
A communication device comprising:
- a processor circuit and a memory circuit, wherein the memory is arranged to store instructions for the processor circuit,
- wherein the processor circuit is arranged to coordinate at least one resource allocation to a plurality of second communication devices,
- wherein the processor circuit is arranged to communicate with the plurality of second communication devices,
- wherein the processor circuit is arranged to provide at least one resource allocation information to the plurality of second communication devices,
- wherein the at least one resource allocation information defines an allocation of bit positions associated with an acknowledgement of the at least one information units received by a first communication device from a plurality of second communication devices in a combined acknowledgement information unit,
- wherein the processor circuit is arranged to transmit the combined acknowledgement information unit in response to a reception of the at least one information units from a plurality of the second communication devices.
3 more elements
A method for communication comprising:
- receiving at least one information units from a plurality of second communication devices,
- receiving at least one message from a third communication device,
- wherein the at least one resource allocation message defines an allocation of bit positions associated with an acknowledgement of the at least one information units received from the plurality of second communication devices in a combined acknowledgement information unit;
- and
- transmitting a combined acknowledgement information unit in response to a reception of the at least one information units from a plurality of second communication using the allocation of bit positions defined in the at least one resource allocation message.
2 more elements
A method for communication comprising:
- transmitting at least one information units to fifth communication device,
- receiving at least one resource allocation message from a third communication device, wherein the at least one resource allocation message defines an allocation of bit positions associated with an acknowledgement of the at least one information units from a plurality of second communication devices in a combined acknowledgement information unit;
- receiving a combined acknowledgement information unit;
- and
- evaluating a bit at a bit position defined by the at least one resource allocation message so as to derive an information whether at least one information units transmitted by the communication device have been received by the fifth communication device.
2 more elements
A method for communication comprising:
- coordinating a resource allocation to a plurality of second communication devices;
- and
- providing at least one resource allocation information to the plurality of second communication devices,
- wherein the at least one resource allocation information defines an allocation of bit positions associated with an acknowledgement of the at least one information units received by a first communication device from a plurality of second communication devices in a combined acknowledgement information unit,
- transmitting the combined acknowledgement information unit using first communication device in response to a reception of the at least one information units from a plurality of the second communication devices.
