Abstract
A network node and a user device are provided. The network node comprises: a processor configured to allocate a plurality of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) for a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) having a PUCCH format defined for two or more PRBs, wherein the allocated plurality of PRBs are associated with a user device; a transceiver configured to signal allocation information to the user device, wherein the allocation information comprises a frequency location and a number of allocated plurality of PRBs. The user device comprises: a processor configured to determine uplink control information for one or more network nodes; a transceiver configured to transmit the uplink control information in a PUCCH to the one or more network nodes, wherein a plurality of PRBs are allocated for the PUCCH and wherein the PUCCH has a PUCCH format defined for two or more PRBs.
