Title:
PUCCH REGION DETERMINATION AND USAGE FOR MTC
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/024561
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method includes allocating only a single PUCCH region in each subframe of multiple subframes to be used by UEs for uplink control information transmission. Information is signaled, where the information is defined to configure a UE that is equipped for machine type communication to be able to determine PUCCH regions to be used for uplink control information transmission for data received at the UE. The uplink control information is received, over the plurality of subframes, from the UE in the single PUCCH region per subframe. A UE that is configured for machine type communication receives the signaled information and determines, using the signaled information, a single PUCCH region to use for each subframe to transmit the uplink control information for received data and transmits, over the multiple subframes, the uplink control information from in the determined single PUCCH region per subframe. Apparatus, software, and computer program products are also disclosed.
