Devices for sending and receiving feedback information
First Claim
1. An evolved Node B (eNB) for sending feedback information, comprising:
- a processor;
memory in electronic communication with the processor, wherein instructions stored in the memory are executable to;
determine configuration parameters related to an Enhanced Physical Hybrid-Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) Indicator Channel (EPHICH);
send an uplink grant and an associated EPHICH resource indicator based on the configuration parameters, wherein a transmit power control (TPC) index is determined based on the EPHICH resource indicator;
receive data in a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH); and
send Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information based on the configuration parameters.

Abstract
An evolved Node B (eNB) for sending feedback information is described. The eNB includes a processor and instructions stored in memory that is in electronic communication with the processor. The eNB determines configuration parameters related to an Enhanced Physical Hybrid-Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) Indicator Channel (EPHICH). The eNB also sends an uplink grant and an associated EPHICH resource indicator based on the configuration parameters. The eNB additionally receives data in a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). The eNB further sends Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information based on the configuration parameters.
