1. A communication device comprising:
a processor circuit and a memory circuit, wherein the memory is arranged to store instructions for the processor circuit,
wherein the processor circuit is arranged to receive at least one information units from a plurality of second communication devices,
wherein the processor circuit is arranged to receive at least one resource allocation message from a third communication device,
wherein the at least one resource allocation message defines an allocation of bit positions associated with an acknowledgement of the at least one information units in a combined acknowledgement information unit,
wherein the processor circuit is arranged to transmit a combined acknowledgement information unit in response to a reception of the at least one information units using the allocation of bit positions defined in the at least one resource allocation message.
