Method and apparatus for high rate data transmission in wireless communication
First Claim
1. An apparatus for improving capacity for high data rate transmission in a wireless communication system comprising:
- at least one processor configured to receive an assignment of multiple downlink carriers from a base station comprising one or more packet data channels (PDCH) and at least one uplink carrier, and thereafter to receive data transmission on one or more of the multiple downlink carriers, wherein the assignment of the multiple downlink carriers is based on one of a transmission channel, a desired data transmission rate, and available transmission resources; and
the at least one processor further configured to send acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement information over one uplink carrier related to the multiple downlink carriers, and to report the quality of the one or more packet data channels over the at least one uplink carrier; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor.

Abstract
Techniques for utilizing multiple carriers to substantially improve transmission capacity are described. For multi-carrier operation, a terminal receives an assignment of multiple forward link (FL) carriers and at least one reverse link (RL) carrier. The carriers may be arranged in at least one group, with each group including at least one FL carrier and one RL carrier. The terminal may receive packets on the FL carrier(s) in each group and may send acknowledgements for the received packets via the RL carrier in that group. The terminal may send channel quality indication (CQI) reports for the FL carrier(s) in each group via the RL carrier in that group. The terminal may also transmit data on the RL carrier(s). The terminal may send designated RL signaling (e.g., to originate a call) on a primary RL carrier and may receive designated FL signaling (e.g., for call setup) on a primary FL carrier.
