Abstract
A base station transmits a message comprising configuration parameters of first radio resources of a control channel. The first radio resources comprise one or more sets of resource blocks in a subset of subframes in a plurality of subframes. The base station transmits scheduling information on the control channel for a packet transmitted on an uplink data channel. The base station transmits a positive or negative acknowledgement on second radio resources of a feedback channel for the received packet. The second radio resources start from the first OFDM symbol of a second subframe.
Claims20
A base station comprising:
- one or more communication interfaces;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause said base station to:
- transmit, to a wireless device, an RRC message comprising configuration parameters of first radio resources of a control channel, said first radio resources comprising multiple sets of resource blocks in a subset of subframes in a plurality of subframes, said RRC message indicating:
- said subset of subframes;
- a first starting symbol of both said control channel and a downlink data channel in said subset of subframes;
- and
- transmit on said control channel first scheduling information for a first packet;
- receive said first packet;
- and
- transmit a positive or negative acknowledgement in a first subframe in said plurality of subframes on second radio resources of a feedback channel, said second radio resources starting from the first symbol of said first subframe and having a duration of one or three symbols;
- and
- wherein said configuration parameters comprise an array of parameters, each element in said array comprising frequency resource parameters for a set of resource blocks in said multiple sets of resource blocks.
A wireless device comprising:
- one or more communication interfaces;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause said wireless device to:
- receive, from a base station, an RRC message comprising configuration parameters of first radio resources of a control channel, said first radio resources comprising multiple sets of resource blocks in a subset of subframes in a plurality of subframes, said RRC message indicating:
- said subset of subframes;
- a first starting symbol of both said control channel and a downlink data channel in said subset of subframes;
- and
- receive on said control channel first scheduling information for a first packet;
- transmit said first packet;
- and
- receive a positive or negative acknowledgement in a first subframe in said plurality of subframes on second radio resources of a feedback channel, said second radio resources starting from the first symbol of said first subframe and having a duration of one or three symbols;
- and
- wherein said configuration parameters comprise an array of parameters, each element in said array comprising frequency resource parameters for a set of resource blocks in said multiple sets of resource blocks.
A method for use in a base station, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a wireless device, an RRC message comprising configuration parameters of first radio resources of a control channel, said first radio resources comprising multiple sets of resource blocks in a subset of subframes in a plurality of subframes, said RRC message indicating:
- said subset of subframes;
- a first starting symbol of both said control channel and a downlink data channel in said subset of subframes;
- and
- transmitting on said control channel first scheduling information for a first packet;
- receiving said first packet;
- and
- transmitting a positive or negative acknowledgement in a first subframe in said plurality of subframes on second radio resources of a feedback channel, said second radio resources starting from the first symbol of said first subframe and having a duration of one or three symbols;
- and
- wherein said configuration parameters comprise an array of parameters, each element in said array comprising frequency resource parameters for a set of resource blocks in said multiple sets of resource blocks.
