Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for the transmission of uplink (UL) control information via unlicensed spectrum are provided. One method includes dynamically allocating, by a network node, control channel resources for transmitting of uplink control information (UCI). The method may also include scheduling a user equipment with multiple transmission opportunities for each hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (A/N) on the control channel in multiple uplink subframes.
