Resolving falsely decoded acknowledgments

A computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first user device, cause the one or more processors to:
• send, by the first user device, uplink data to a base station using a resource;
• receive, by the first user device, an acknowledgment from the base station based on sending the uplink data,
• the acknowledgment including:
• a positive acknowledgment that indicates the base station properly decoded the uplink data, or
• a negative acknowledgment that indicates the base station did not properly decode the uplink data;
• decode, by the first user device, the acknowledgment as the positive acknowledgment or the negative acknowledgment;
• receive, by the first user device, a control message from the base station indicating resource assignments for a plurality of user devices;
• determine, by the first user device, the acknowledgement is falsely decoded as the positive acknowledgment or the negative acknowledgment based on the resource assignments,
• the acknowledgment being falsely decoded as the negative acknowledgment when the control message indicates that the resource, used by the first user device in a previous uplink transmission, has been reassigned to a second user device,
• the plurality of user devices including the first user device and the second user device, and
• the acknowledgment being falsely decoded as the positive acknowledgment when the control message indicates the resource, used by the first user device in the previous uplink transmission, is still assigned to the first user device;
• and
• prevent, by the first user device, resending of the uplink data using the resource based on determining the acknowledgment is falsely decoded as the negative acknowledgment.

A method, comprising:

• transmitting, by a first user device, uplink data to a base station using a resource;
• receiving, by the first user device, an acknowledgment from the base station based on sending the uplink data,
• the acknowledgment including:
• a positive acknowledgment that indicates the base station properly decoded the uplink data, or
• a negative acknowledgment that indicates the base station could not properly decode the uplink data;
• decoding, by the first user device, the acknowledgment as the positive acknowledgment or the negative acknowledgment;
• receiving, by the first user device, a control message from the base station indicating resource assignments for a plurality of user devices;
• determining, by the first user device, the acknowledgement is falsely decoded as the positive acknowledgment or the negative acknowledgment based on the resource assignments,
• the acknowledgment being falsely decoded as the negative acknowledgment when the control message indicates that the resource, used by the first user device in a previous uplink transmission, has been reassigned to a second user device,
• the plurality of user devices including the first user device and the second user device, and
• the acknowledgment being falsely decoded as the positive acknowledgment when the control message indicates the resource, used by the first user device in the previous uplink transmission, is still assigned to the first user device;
• and
• retransmitting, by the first user device, the uplink data using the resource based on determining the acknowledgment is falsely decoded as the positive acknowledgment.
