FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: scheduled transmission of an acknowledgement (ACK) signal and a channel quality information (CQI) signal in a common subframe can be adapted for network implementations with limited link budget, wherein ACK signalling is configured for repetition over multiple subframes to ensure a desired error rate level for the ACK signalling. To this end, various aspects described herein facilitate modification of a coding rate applied to ACK signalling to be transmitted with data based on a repetition factor of the ACK signalling. Additionally and/or alternatively, various aspects described herein facilitate dropping of CQI signalling and transmission of only ACK signalling on subframes where CQI and ACK signalling are to be transmitted substantially simultaneously and ACK transmission is configured for repetition over multiple subframes.
EFFECT: possibility of allocating and transmitting control information in a wireless communication system.
