Abstract
A method is provided for block spreading individual control symbol sequences, mapping the block spread control symbol sequences, adding a cyclic prefix to the block spread control symbol sequences to form a data-non-associated control signaling information, and transmitting the data-non-associated control signaling information.
Claims22
A method, comprising:
- block spreading individual control symbol sequences, by a wireless communication device, where the block spreading comprises Hadamard spreading;
- mapping the block spread control symbol sequences, wherein mapping comprises mapping the block spread control symbol sequences to resource elements assigned for transmission of a physical uplink control channel;
- adding a cyclic prefix to the block spread control symbol sequences to form a data-non-associated control signaling information;
- and
- transmitting, by the wireless communication device, the data-non-associated control signaling information.
2 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, where the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to at least:
- block spread individual control symbol sequences, where the block spreading comprises Hadamard spreading;
- map the block spread control symbol sequences, wherein mapping comprises mapping the block spread control symbol sequences to resource elements assigned for transmission of a physical uplink control channel;
- add a cyclic prefix to the block spread control symbol sequences to form data-non-associated control signaling information, and;
- and
- transmit the data-non-associated control signaling information.
