Command Acknowledgment in a Wireless Communication System

Abstract:

A user equipment (105), UE, is configured for use in a wireless communication system (100). The UE (105) acknowledges one or more first commands received from an access node (110) by transmitting, to the access node (110), a first acknowledgment comprising a confirmation field set to a first value. After acknowledging the one or more first commands, the UE (105) acknowledges one or more second commands received from the access node (110) by selectively transmitting or refraining from transmitting, to the access node (110), a second acknowledgement comprising the confirmation field set to a second value depending respectively on whether or not the second value would be different from the first value.
