METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REPORTING FEEDBACK INFORMATION FOR MULTI-CARRIER OPERATION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H04L5/02 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication engineering and can be used in wireless communication systems. For more effective support for asymmetric traffic loads in the downlink, a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is configured with multiple carriers with unpaired downlink carrier(s). The unpaired downlink carrier is an active downlink carrier that does not have a corresponding active uplink carrier. For transmission of feedback information for the unpaired downlink carrier, a feedback channel may be allocated on a distinct non-overlapping resource region on the uplink carrier so that the network may determine which downlink carrier the received feedback information is for based on the resource region. Alternatively, a different feedback channel may be allocated for the unpaired downlink carrier. Alternatively, the feedback information may be transmitted via medium access control (MAC) encoded feedback.

EFFECT: high throughput of transmission channels.
