Ack channel design for early termination of R99 downlink traffic

A computer program product, comprising:

• a computer-readable medium storing processor-readable instructions configured to cause a computer to:
• receive a transmission;
• and
• transmit an acknowledgement (Ack) regarding the transmission using at least one of:
• applying a pre-configured boost to the transmit power of at least a portion of a slot in which the Ack is transmitted;
• modulating a codeword pattern onto symbols that would normally be transmitted in the slot;
• and
• transmitting the Ack on a dedicated physical data channel (DPDCH).

An apparatus, comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive a transmission;
• and
• a transmitter configured to transmit an acknowledgement (Ack) regarding the transmission using at least one of:
• applying a pre-configured boost to the transmit power of at least a portion of a slot in which the Ack is transmitted;
• modulating a codeword pattern onto symbols that would normally be transmitted in the slot;
• and
• transmitting the Ack on a dedicated physical data channel (DPDCH).

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for receiving a transmission;
• and
• means for transmitting an acknowledgement (Ack) regarding the transmission using at least one of:
• applying a pre-configured boost to the transmit power of at least a portion of a slot in which the Ack is transmitted;
• modulating a codeword pattern onto symbols that would normally be transmitted in the slot;
• and
• transmitting the Ack on a dedicated physical data channel (DPDCH).

A method of wireless communication comprising:

• transmitting wireless communication;
• and
• receiving an acknowledgement (Ack) regarding the transmission, wherein the Ack is received as a transmission using at least one of:
• a pre-configured boost applied to the transmit power of at least a portion of a slot in which the Ack is transmitted;
• a modulation of a codeword pattern onto symbols that would normally be transmitted in the slot;
• and
• a transmission on a dedicated physical data channel (DPDCH).
