Abstract

A device includes a transceiver to receive, from a base station, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission and processing circuitry to classify downlink (DL) subframe types for a set of DL subframes associated with a first uplink (UL) subframe for transmission of a hybrid automatic report request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) and perform physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources mapping based on the classified DL subframe Types for an acknowledgement transmission associated with PDSCH transmission reception.

 classify downlink (DL) subframe types for a set of DL subframes associated with a first uplink (UL) subframe for transmission of a hybrid automatic report request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK); and 
 perform physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources mapping based on the classified DL subframe Types for an acknowledgement transmission associated with PDSCH transmission reception. 
   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the DL subframe types comprise:
 Type 1 DL subframes that are constructed by DL subframes that are associated with a first uplink (UL) subframe for transmission of HARQ-ACK according to a time division duplex (TDD) UL/DL configuration indicated in a system information block Type 1 (SIB1) message; and 
 Type 2 DL subframes that are constructed by:
 firstly identifying DL subframes that are associated with the first UL subframe for transmission of HARQ-ACK according to a higher layer configured DL-reference UL/DL configuration; and

         23 . A machine readable storage device having instructions to cause a machine to:
 receive from a base station via a transceiver, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission;   classify, via processing circuitry, downlink (DL) subframe types for a set of DL subframes associated with a first uplink (UL) subframe for transmission of a hybrid automatic report request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK); and   perform physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources mapping based on the classified DL subframe Types for an acknowledgement transmission associated with PDSCH transmission reception.   
     
     
         24 . The machine readable storage device of  claim 23  wherein the DL subframe types comprise:
 Type 1 DL subframes that are constructed by DL subframes that are associated with a first uplink (UL) subframe for transmission of HARQ-ACK according to a time division duplex (TDD) UL/DL configuration indicated in a system information block Type 1 (SIB1) message; and 
 Type 2 DL subframes that are constructed by:
 firstly identifying DL subframes that are associated with the first UL subframe for transmission of HARQ-ACK according to a higher layer configured DL-reference UL/DL configuration; and 
 if the Type 1 DL subframes are overlapped with the Type 2 DL subframes, the overlapping subframes between Type 1 and Type 2 DL subframes are further removed from the Type 2 DL subframes.
