RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for resource allocation in a communications system, characterized bydetermining, in a network apparatus, PUCCH format 1a/1b resources for HARQ-ACK for time division duplex signaling based onan index of the first enhanced control channel element used for transmission of a corresponding EPDCCH downlink assignment in an uplink subframe,the index of the downlink subframe in which the EPDCCH downlink assignment is transmitted, andone or more configured parameters.

Abstract
An exemplary embodiment discloses a multi-subframe physical uplink control channel PUCCH resource arrangement for PUCCH format 1a/1b resource allocation for enhanced physical downlink control channel EPDCCH in time division duplex TDD transmission. A definition of a semi-static offset for each EPDCCH set is extended by considering multiple downlink subframes, and a dynamic offset mechanism is enhanced to avoid resource collision between multiple DL subframes.
