1. A method for use in a base station, the method comprising:
- a) transmitting at least one message causing, in a wireless device, configuration of;
i) first radio resources of a control channel, said first radio resources comprising one or more sets of resource blocks in a subset of subframes in a plurality of subframes, said at least one message indicating;
(1) a starting OFDM symbol of said control channel in said subset of subframes; and
(2) said subset of subframes in which said first radio resources of said control channel are configured;
ii) second radio resources of a HARQ channel to start from the first OFDM symbol of said plurality of subframes, said at least one message indicating a number of symbols in said second radio resources in each subframe in said plurality of subframes;
b) transmitting scheduling information on said control channel, said scheduling information being for a packet transmitted on an uplink channel;
c) receiving said packet on said uplink channel according to said scheduling information; and
d) transmitting a positive or negative acknowledgement on said second radio resources.

Abstract
A base station transmits a message configuring first radio resources of a control channel. The first radio resources comprise one or more sets of resource blocks in a subset of subframes in a plurality of subframes. The base station transmits scheduling information on the control channel for a packet transmitted on an uplink data channel. The base station transmits a positive or negative acknowledgement on second radio resources of a feedback channel for receiving the packet. The second radio resources start from the first OFDM symbol of the second subframe.

9. A base station comprising:
-
a) one or more communication interfaces; b) one or more processors; and c) memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause said base station to; i) transmit at least one message causing, in a wireless device, configuration of; (1) first radio resources of a control channel, said first radio resources comprising one or more sets of resource blocks in a subset of subframes in a plurality of subframes, said at least one message indicating; (a) a starting OFDM symbol of said control channel in said subset of subframes; and (b) said subset of subframes in which said first radio resources of said control channel are configured; and (2) second radio resources of a HARQ channel to start from the first OFDM symbol of said plurality of subframes, said at least one message indicating a number of symbols in said second radio resources in each subframe in said plurality of subframes; ii) transmit scheduling information on said control channel, said scheduling information being for a packet transmitted on an uplink channel; iii) receive said packet on said uplink channel according to said scheduling information; and iv) transmit a positive or negative acknowledgement on said second radio resources. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A wireless device comprising:
-
a) one or more communication interfaces; b) one or more processors; and c) memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause said wireless device to; i) receive at least one message, from a base station, causing configuration of; (1) first radio resources of a control channel, said first radio resources comprising one or more sets of resource blocks in a subset of subframes in a plurality of subframes, said at least one message indicating; (a) a starting OFDM symbol of said control channel in said subset of subframes; and (b) said subset of subframes in which said first radio resources of said control channel are configured; and (2) second radio resources of a HARQ channel to start from the first OFDM symbol of said plurality of subframes, said at least one message indicating a number of symbols in said second radio resources in each subframe in said plurality of subframes; ii) transmit a packet on an uplink channel according to scheduling information received on said first radio resources; and iii) receive a positive or negative acknowledgement on said second radio resources. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
