Abstract

A method and apparatus for communication is disclosed. Information is received on a downlink channel in a first time interval. Feedback information regarding the received information is transmitted in a second time interval on an uplink channel. For the second time interval, an explicit allocation of the uplink channel is not received. The second time interval on the uplink channel is a pre-determined time period away from the first time interval on the downlink channel.

Claims (12)
