ADAPTIVE TRANSPORT FORMAT UPLINK SIGNALLING FOR DATA-NON-ASSOCIATED FEEDBACK CONTROL SIGNALS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H04L1/00 H04W72/04 H04W72/12 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: one or more dynamically selected signalling bits are added in a downlink from a base station to user equipment (UE) so that the UE can use an adaptive "symbol space" for uplink feedback (CQI/HARQ) signalling and know from the extra added downlink signalling bits and the MCS currently signalled in parallel how big a symbol space to use at the moment for the uplink feedback.

EFFECT: efficient allocation of available physical resources and optimising performance not associated with signalling control data.
