Physical layer acknowledgement signaling resource allocation in wireless communication systems
First Claim
1. A method in a wireless communication network infrastructure entity comprising:
- receiving transmissions on a first physical uplink shared channel from a first component carrier;
receiving transmissions on a second physical uplink shared channel from a second component carrier;
transmitting a first downlink subframe with a first control channel element, mapped for physical downlink control channel signaling, and with at least one resource element group, which contains multiple resource elements, mapped for physical layer acknowledgement signaling of the second physical uplink shared channel; and
transmitting a second downlink subframe with a second control channel element, mapped for physical layer acknowledgement signaling of the first physical uplink shared channel,wherein a first control channel element index number of the first control channel element is equal to a second control channel element index number of the second control channel element.

Abstract
A downlink subframe on a single downlink carrier supports physical layer acknowledgment signaling for multiple physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions. The physical layer acknowledgement signaling may take the form of physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel (PHICH) signaling. A base unit reserves resource elements groups (REGs) for default PHICH signaling of default PUSCH transmissions. The base unit reserves control channel elements (CCEs) for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signaling. A CCE contains multiple interleaved REGs. The base unit takes any unreserved CCEs and maps those CCEs for physical layer acknowledgement signaling of additional PUSCH transmissions.
