Acknowledgement of control messages in a wireless communication system

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving an assignment message, on a control block associated with one type of a plurality of types of logical resources, for a terminal from a base station;
• determining whether to acknowledge the assignment message based on the type of logical resources associated with the control block on which the assignment message was received;
• and
• determining acknowledgement (ACK) resources to use to acknowledge the assignment message if the assignment message is to be acknowledged.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving an assignment message, on a control block associated with one type of a plurality of types of logical resources, for a terminal from a base station;
• means for determining whether to acknowledge the assignment message based on the type of logical resources associated with the control block on which the assignment message was received;
• and
• means for determining acknowledgement (ACK) resources to use to acknowledge the assignment message if the assignment message is to be acknowledged.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:
• code for causing at least one computer to receive an assignment message, on a control block associated with one type of a plurality of types of logical resources, for a terminal from a base station;
• code for causing the at least one computer to determine whether to acknowledge the assignment message based on the type of logical resources associated with the control block on which the assignment message was received;
• and
• code for causing the at least one computer to determine acknowledgement (ACK) resources to use to acknowledge the assignment message if the assignment message is to be acknowledged.
