Abstract
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate defining control channels and resource identifiers related thereto as well as constraints for utilizing the control channels. A minimum number of required control reports for a set of resource indices can be specified as a constraint to provide a mobile device flexibility with respect to transmitting the control reports over available resource indices. Additionally, or alternatively, a maximum number of control reports can be specified for transmitted over the resource indices to prevent control channel overload. Moreover, a constraint can specify an exact number of control channels to utilize in transmitting control reports. Other constraints are possible as well, such as limiting a control report payload or change in payload, limiting out-of-band control reports based on in-band reports transmitted, etc.
