Abstract
Transmission of information in a wireless network is performed by allocating a channel from a transmitter to a receiver. The channel has at least one time slot with each time slot having a plurality of symbols. Each slot contains at least one reference symbol (RS). As information becomes available for transmission it is classified as prioritized information (PI) and other information. One or more priority symbols are generated using the digital samples of the priority information. Other symbols are generated using the other data. Priority symbols are transmitted on the channel in a manner that separation of priority symbol(s) and a reference symbol does not exceed a time duration of one symbol. For example Rank Indicator (RI) is transmitted using symbol k ACKNAK is transmitted using symbol k+1; and the reference signal (RS) is transmitted using symbol k+2 wherein symbols k k+1 and k+2 are consecutive in time. The other symbols are transmitted in available locations.

Claim
1. A method for operating a communications apparatus, comprising:
mapping a Rank Indicator (RI) control signal to a first symbol;
mapping an ACK/NACK control signal to a second symbol;
mapping a reference signal (RS) control to a third symbol, wherein the first, second and third symbols are consecutive in time; and
transmitting a sequence of symbols wherein the Rank Indicator (RI) control signal is mapped to the first symbol, the ACK/NACK control signal is mapped to the second symbol and the reference signal (RS) control signal is mapped to the third symbol.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
mapping the ACK/NACK control signal to a fourth symbol; and
mapping the Rank Indicator (RI) control signal to a fifth symbol, wherein the first, second, third, fourth and fifth symbols are consecutive in time.
3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:
encoding physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) data using a turbo encoder; and
mapping the encoded PUSCH data to a sixth symbol and to a seventh symbol, wherein the sixth, first, second, third, fourth, fifth and seventh symbols are consecutive in time.
4. The method of claim 3, further comprising: transmitting the encoded PUSCH data using at least one of the symbols from the set {first, second, fourth, fifth}.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein mapping the ACK/NACK comprises:
receiving at least one data packet; and
producing the ACK/NACK by performing error detection on the received data packet.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein performing error detection comprises a circular redundancy check (CRC) decoding.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein mapping the Rank Indicator (RI) comprises:
receiving a first downlink reference signal (DLRS) from a first antenna port;
receiving a second downlink reference signal (DLRS) from a second antenna port; and

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first, second & third symbols are modulation symbols.
