Abstract
A base station transmits a message configuring first radio resources of a control channel. The first radio resources comprise one or more sets of resource blocks in a subset of subframes in a plurality of subframes. The base station transmits scheduling information on the control channel for a packet transmitted on an uplink data channel. The base station transmits a positive or negative acknowledgement on second radio resources of a feedback channel for receiving the packet. The second radio resources start from the first OFDM symbol of the second subframe.
Claims20
A method for use in a base station, the method comprising:
- a) transmitting at least one message causing, in a wireless device, configuration of:
- i) first radio resources of a control channel, said first radio resources comprising one or more sets of resource blocks in a subset of subframes in a plurality of subframes, said at least one message indicating:
- (1) a starting OFDM symbol of said control channel in said subset of subframes;
- and
- (2) said subset of subframes in which said first radio resources of said control channel are configured;
- ii) second radio resources of a HARQ channel to start from the first OFDM symbol of said plurality of subframes, said at least one message indicating a number of symbols in said second radio resources in each subframe in said plurality of subframes;
- b) transmitting scheduling information on said control channel, said scheduling information being for a packet transmitted on an uplink channel;
- c) receiving said packet on said uplink channel according to said scheduling information;
- and
- d) transmitting a positive or negative acknowledgement on said second radio resources.

A base station comprising:
- a) one or more communication interfaces;
- b) one or more processors;
- and
- c) memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause said base station to:
- i) transmit at least one message causing, in a wireless device, configuration of:
- (1) first radio resources of a control channel, said first radio resources comprising one or more sets of resource blocks in a subset of subframes in a plurality of subframes, said at least one message indicating:
- (a) a starting OFDM symbol of said control channel in said subset of subframes;
- and
- (b) said subset of subframes in which said first radio resources of said control channel are configured;
- and
- (2) second radio resources of a HARQ channel to start from the first OFDM symbol of said plurality of subframes, said at least one message indicating a number of symbols in said second radio resources in each subframe in said plurality of subframes;
- ii) transmit scheduling information on said control channel, said scheduling information being for a packet transmitted on an uplink channel;
- iii) receive said packet on said uplink channel according to said scheduling information;
- and
- iv) transmit a positive or negative acknowledgement on said second radio resources.

A wireless device comprising:
- a) one or more communication interfaces;
- b) one or more processors;
- and
- c) memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause said wireless device to:
- i) receive at least one message, from a base station, causing configuration of:
- (1) first radio resources of a control channel, said first radio resources comprising one or more sets of resource blocks in a subset of subframes in a plurality of subframes, said at least one message indicating:
- (a) a starting OFDM symbol of said control channel in said subset of subframes;
- and
- (b) said subset of subframes in which said first radio resources of said control channel are configured;
- and
- (2) second radio resources of a HARQ channel to start from the first OFDM symbol of said plurality of subframes, said at least one message indicating a number of symbols in said second radio resources in each subframe in said plurality of subframes;
- ii) transmit a packet on an uplink channel according to scheduling information received on said first radio resources;
- and
- iii) receive a positive or negative acknowledgement on said second radio resources.
