APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING PUCCH FORMAT 3 RESOURCES Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H04L5/00 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a wireless communication system and is intended for providing higher data transmission rates, improving efficiency of user equipment and the associated method, intended for identifying a resource for use thereof to transmit control information in physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format 3. The method includes receiving (610) of a resource index from a serving base station and identifying (620) the resource, in order to use the resource to transmit control information in a subframe based on the received resource index, wherein the identified resource is located in the same confined set of physical resource blocks, regardless of whether a normal or shortened PUCCH format 3 is used in the subframe.

EFFECT: providing higher data transmission rates.
