Abstract
A method for ACK/NACK determination reliability for a communication device includes a first step of defining a supplementary indicator of message acceptability. A next step includes sending data from a communication device to a BTS on an uplink channel. A next step includes checking the data to see if it was properly received. A next step includes providing the supplementary indicator of message acceptability to the communication device in addition to ACK/NACK information. A next step includes utilizing the supplementary indicator of message acceptability to determine a reliability of the ACK/NACK information.
