Abstract  Abstract

Technology for allocating at least one physical resource block (PRB) for an Enhanced Physical Hybrid-ARQ Indicator Channel (EPHICH) transmission for a New Carrier Type (NCT) is disclosed. In one method a number of bits associated with channel coding for an acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgement (NACK) in the EPHICH transmission is determined. A plurality of modulation symbols for each ACK or NACK in the EPHICH transmission is generated based in part on the number of bits associated with the ACK or NACK. The plurality of modulation symbols are mapped as EPHICH quadrants in one or more resource element blocks (REGs) wherein the EPHICH quadrants are mapped to a plurality of physical resource blocks (PRBs) allocated for EPHICH to increase frequency diversity gain.
