Abstract
A technique includes determining, by a user device, a set of uplink control channel resources out of a plurality of predetermined sets of uplink control channel resources, before the user device has received a user device-specific configuration of uplink control channel resources; selecting, by the user device, an uplink control channel resource of the determined set of uplink control channel resources; and transmitting, by the user device, control information via the selected uplink control channel resource.
Claims31
A method comprising:
- determining, by a user device, a set of uplink control channel resources out of a plurality of predetermined sets of uplink control channel resources, before the user device has received a user device-specific configuration of uplink control channel resources;
- selecting, by the user device, an uplink control channel resource of the determined set of uplink control channel resources;
- and
- transmitting, by the user device, control information via the selected uplink control channel resource.
A computer program product includes a computer-readable storage medium and storing executable code that, when executed by at least one data processing apparatus, is configured to cause the at least one data processing apparatus to perform a method comprising:
- determining, by a user device, a set of uplink control channel resources out of a plurality of predetermined sets of uplink control channel resources, before the user device has received a user device-specific configuration of uplink control channel resources;
- selecting, by the user device, an uplink control channel resource of the determined set of uplink control channel resources;
- and
- transmitting, by the user device, control information via the selected uplink control channel resource.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- determine, by a user device, a set of uplink control channel resources out of a plurality of predetermined sets of uplink control channel resources, before the user device has received a user device-specific configuration of uplink control channel resources;
- select, by the user device, an uplink control channel resource of the determined set of uplink control channel resources;
- and
- transmit, by the user device, control information via the selected uplink control channel resource.
