Communications in a wireless network

A method for transmitting resource allocation performed by a base station, the method comprising:

• transmitting, by the base station, resource allocation information to a user equipment (UE), that identifies resources for an uplink physical control channel that are different from resources of a physical uplink shared channel and a downlink control channel resource set comprising a set of time-frequency resources for a downlink control channel that carries feedback information;
• receiving, from the UE, data over the physical uplink shared channel in assigned time intervals;
• receiving in a time interval in which the base station is not receiving the data over the physical uplink shared channel, a signal over the uplink physical control channel based on the transmitted resource allocation information, wherein the signal is received between transmissions of the data over the physical uplink shared channels within a frame;
• determine feedback information for the UE based on the signal received over the uplink physical control channel;
• and
• transmitting feedback information to the UE on the downlink control channel using the downlink control channel resource set, wherein the feedback information includes power control information.

At least one non-transient computer readable medium containing program instructions for transmitting resource allocation, the program instructions, when executed by a processor of a base station, cause the base station to perform a method comprising:

• transmitting, by the base station, resource allocation information to a user equipment (UE) that identifies resources for an uplink physical control channel that are different from resources of a physical uplink shared channel and a downlink control channel resource set comprising a set of time-frequency resources for a downlink control channel that carries feedback information;
• receiving from the UE, data over the physical uplink shared channel in assigned time intervals;
• receiving in a time interval in which the base station is not receiving the data over the physical uplink shared channel, a signal over the uplink physical control channel based on the transmitted resource allocation information, wherein the signal is received between transmissions of the data over the physical uplink shared channels within a frame;
• determine feedback information for the UE based on the signal received over the uplink physical control channel;
• and
• transmitting feedback information to the UE on the downlink control channel using the downlink control channel resource set, wherein the feedback information includes power control information.
