Transmission of Multiple Information Elements in Multiple Channels

Abstract

A transmission of information from a secondary to a primary node occurs in a plurality of N logical time durations. The transmission from the secondary to primary node in a wireless network is performed by first receiving an allocation of M>1 reverse link channels for transmission of N>0 information elements. N information elements are produced. A group of K (possibly only one) reverse link channels is selected from the M allocated reverse link channels, using at least one of the N produced information elements, wherein the group of K reverse link channels comprises at least one channel, such that 0<K<M. A signal is produced using the produced information elements and the produced signal is transmitted on the selected group of K reverse link channels. Embodiments of the invention apply to transmission of ACKNAK and SRI.
