Patent attributes
A method in a user equipment for arranging a Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH, transmission to a network node in a telecommunications system is provided. The PUCCH transmission comprises control information for downlink transmissions. The control information is Reed-Müller, RM, encoded using at least two RM codewords and transmitted using Alamouti encoded transmit diversity over at least two antenna ports. The control information comprises a first bit sequence and a second bit sequence. The user equipment arranges the first bit sequence and the second bit sequence, such that at least two bits from the first bit sequence and second bit sequence, that subsequently are Alamouti encoded together, originates from the same RM codeword of the at least two RM codewords. This is performed in order to enable control information encoded using one RM codeword to be processed independently from control information encoded using another RM codeword at the network node.
