Abstract
A method of signaling on a downlink, information regarding scheduling resources allocated in uplink, is provided, wherein the information is contained in an uplink scheduling information message, which is formatted to contain a subset of content of any subsequent uplink scheduling information message in an ordered set of message formats. Each uplink scheduling information message selected from the set is punctured into a symbol of a downlink user data allocation.

A method of signaling, comprising:
- forming an ordered set of uplink scheduling information messages, each uplink scheduling information message being formatted to contain a subset of content of any subsequent uplink scheduling information message in the ordered set;
- puncturing each uplink scheduling information message into a symbol of a downlink user data allocation;
- and
- sequentially transmitting the uplink scheduling information messages as part of the downlink user data allocation.

A method of decoding uplink scheduling information signaled on a downlink, comprising:
- receiving via a downlink, an ordered set of uplink scheduling information messages, each uplink scheduling information message being formatted to contain a subset of information content of any subsequent uplink scheduling information message in the ordered set;
- decoding a minimum information content in a smallest scheduling information message and checking for uplink scheduling information by applying a cyclic redundancy check;
- and
- after decoding the minimum content, decoding and checking each subsequent information message until all information messages in the set have been decoded and checked.
