Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for determining a Zone identifier (ID), Zone Center, and negative acknowledgement (NACK) ranges. Included are operations and means at a receiving user equipment (UE) to determine a current geographic location (GLL) of the receiving UE, and select a Zone ID based on a two-dimensional (2-D) lookup into an indexed array with the current GLL, the indexed array storing Zone data for one or more geographic Zones. The Zone data for each geographic Zone may be indexed according to geographic position, and include a Zone ID, Zone center, and one or more NACK ranges, each NACK range corresponding with a geographic Zone disposed about the geographic Zone corresponding to the Zone ID. Operations further include performing a NACK operation based on the selected Zone ID and a NACK range.
