Abstract
Various example embodiments are disclosed herein. According to one example embodiment, a method may include sending, from a base station, an acknowledgment/negative acknowledgment (ACK/NAK) aggregation indicator to the mobile station based on the determining, sending a plurality of data bursts to the mobile station, and receiving at least one aggregated ACK/NAK report from the mobile station.
Claims20
A method performed by a base station in a wireless network, the method comprising:
- transmitting scheduling information to a mobile station, the scheduling information including channel resource information for M data bursts and an indication of channel resources to transmit ACK/NAK information;
- transmitting the M data bursts to the mobile station, wherein M is an integer greater than 1;
- and
- receiving, from the mobile station subsequent to transmitting the M data bursts, an aggregated ACK/NAK report in a single channel via the indicated channel resources for the ACK/NAK information, the aggregated ACK/NAK report comprising aggregated ACK/NAKs for the M data bursts.
A base station comprising:
- a transmitter operable to:
- transmit scheduling information to a mobile station, the scheduling information including channel resource information for M data bursts and an indication of channel resources to transmit ACK/NAK information;
- and
- transmit the M data bursts to the mobile station, wherein M is an integer greater than 1;
- and
- a receiver operable to receive, from the mobile station subsequent to transmitting the M data bursts, an aggregated ACK/NAK report in a single channel using the indicated channel resources for the ACK/NAK information, the aggregated ACK/NAK report comprising aggregated ACK/NAKs for the M data bursts.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising executable code stored thereon, wherein the executable code, when executed by a processor, causes an apparatus to at least:
- transmit scheduling information to a mobile station, the scheduling information including channel resource information for M data bursts and an indication of channel resources to transmit ACK/NAK information;
- transmit the M data bursts to the mobile station, wherein M is an integer greater than 1;
- and
- receive, from the mobile station subsequent to transmitting the M data bursts, an aggregated ACK/NAK report in a single channel using the indicated channel resources for the ACK/NAK information, the aggregated ACK/NAK report comprising aggregated ACK/NAKs for the M data bursts.
