Abstract
A new uplink control channel capability is introduced to enable a mobile terminal to simultaneously report to the radio network multiple packet receipt status bits and channel-condition bits. In particular, if a mobile terminal is configured with channel selection (e.g., with PUCCH format 1b) and is configured to report or is capable of reporting periodic CSI and ACK/NACK bits together, then the mobile terminal can use one or more out of a set of preconfigured uplink control resources and transmit (1140) a PUCCH using a new format in this resource. The particular uplink control channel resource the mobile terminal uses from this set is selected (1120) based on an information field contained in a downlink control message corresponding to the ACKed or NACKed data transmission, for example, such as the Transmit Power Control (TPC) command in a downlink assignment message.
