Abstract: A system and method to instruct a user equipment (UE) how Uplink Control Information (UCI) on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) should be transmitted with carrier aggregation. A semi-static signaling of a UCI mapping bit (via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameter) is used by a base station such as an eNodeB to require the UE to transmit UCI using one of two pre-determined UCI transmission modes. The bit can be decided by the base station, considering, for example, the available bandwidth or quality of different Uplink Component Carriers (UL CCs) associated with the UE. This network-based solution allows the network to either configure a general rule of UCI transmission by the UE or to enforce the UCI transmission on the Uplink Primary cell (UL Pcell). Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.

Abstract: PUCCH resource determination for HARQ-ACK transmission in response to ePDCCH-scheduled PDSCH or ePDCCH-indicated SPS release in a TDD radio communication system. Downlink control information (DCI) is received in a downlink subframe via an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (ePDCCH). A resource index for a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource is determined, based on the lowest enhanced Control Channel Element (eCCE) index of the received DCI, a device-specific offset value, and an index i that identifies the downlink subframe in a pre-determined set of one or more downlink subframes associated with an uplink subframe. The PUCCH resource is determined according to a formula that results in a sequential allocation of PUCCH resources in the uplink subframe with respect to the downlink subframes associated with the uplink subframe, for each of a plurality of sets of ePDCCH resources. HARQ feedback is transmitted in the uplink subframe, in the indexed PUCCH resource.
