Abstract
In certain embodiments, a method includes receiving, by a terminal device, a plurality of virtual channel indexes from a base station and selecting, by the terminal device, a virtual channel index from the plurality of virtual channel indexes. The method further includes determining, by the terminal device based on the virtual channel index, physical channels corresponding to the virtual channel index on a plurality of subframes. At least two of the physical channels corresponding to the virtual channel index on the plurality of subframes are different. The method further includes communicating, by the terminal device on at least one of the plurality of subframes, with the base station using the physical channel corresponding to the virtual channel index.
