MULTIPLE CARRIER ACKNOWLEDGMENT SIGNALLING Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H04L1/00 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: as an example of a version of the invention, a method is disclosed for acknowledgment uplink signalling in a multiple-carrier mode at a remote terminal. First, a code word that jointly encodes acknowledgment signalling for at least two carriers from a multiple-carrier codebook that is stored in the remote terminal is determined. The multiple-carrier codebook includes eight code words that are defined to have a single carrier codebook as a sub-codebook of the multiple-carrier codebook, each code word of the eight code words having a length of ten. The multiple-carrier codebook provides a minimum Hamming distance of four among the eight code words. Second, an uplink signalling message that includes the determined code word is transmitted from the remote terminal to a wireless network node.

EFFECT: achieving a minimum Hamming distance for a codebook with code words that jointly encode ACK-NACK for multiple carriers.
