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: In a code division multiple access (CDMA) communications system, a PN sequence generating device is provided to generate a PN sequence by interleaving of cyclically shifting the symbols of an orthogonal or biorthogonal code in accordance with a pre-defined hopping pattern. A receiver receives simultaneous signals from a plurality of transmitters, where each transmitted signal is spread by a PN sequence generated from the same pre-defined hopping pattern. The receiver is able to differentiate the received signals from each transmitter by varying the amount of interleaving or cyclic shift in each transmitted signal. In the PN sequence generating device, an orthogonal symbol generating portion cyclically shifts mutually orthogonal and periodic orthogonal code sequences, and an orthogonal symbol selector selectively outputs the cyclically shifted orthogonal symbols according to a predetermined pattern.
