Inter-site carrier aggregation with physical uplink control channel monitoring
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprisingdetermining, at a secondary cell, on a control channel, receipt of a transmission feedback information by a primary cell in a wireless communication system, the secondary cell being communicatively coupled to the primary cell;
- transmitting, based on the determining, at least one data packet using the secondary cell;
receiving, by at least one of the primary cell and the secondary cell, a control channel information from a user equipment;
transmitting, on the control channel of the primary cell, the determined feedback information to the secondary cell; and
utilizing, by the secondary cell, the determined feedback information for transmission of the at least one data packet between the secondary cell and the user equipment.

Abstract
A method, a system, an apparatus, and a computer program product for providing an inter-site carrier aggregation in a wireless communication system are disclosed. Control channel resources at a primary cell in a wireless communication system are determined. The determined control channel resources are provided to a secondary cell communicatively coupled to the primary cell. At least one data packet is transmitted based on the determination of control channel resources using the secondary cell.
