First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, at a user equipment (UE), a configuration message indicating a payload size configuration for machine type communication (MTC) physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) messages;
generating an MTC PUCCH message based at least in part on the payload size configuration and a PUCCH format of MTC uplink control information for transmission by the UE; and
transmitting the MTC PUCCH message over a plurality of resource blocks (RBs) in a frequency domain.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration message indicating a payload size configuration for machine type communication (MTC) physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) messages. The UE may generate an MTC PUCCH message based at least in part on the payload size configuration and a PUCCH format of MTC uplink control information for transmission by the UE. The UE may transmit the MTC PUCCH message over a plurality of RBs in a frequency domain.
