[ 31. A method implemented by a data receiving party for conveying feedback information from the data receiving party for data received from a data sending party in a wireless connection, the method comprising:
receiving, via the wireless connection, allocation information about a plurality of feedback resources available for conveying feedback information;
selecting a feedback resource from the plurality of feedback resources and a feedback bit pattern from a plurality of feedback bit patterns, the selected feedback resource and the selected feedback bit pattern jointly identifying a selected one of a plurality of feedback codes regarding the data, the plurality of feedback codes comprising:
a first feedback code in which at least two bits are the same; and
a second feedback code in which at least two bits are different; and
sending, via the wireless connection, the selected feedback bit pattern on the selected feedback resource to convey the selected feedback code regarding the data to the data sending party;
wherein sending the selected feedback bit pattern indicates explicit feedback information to the data sending party;
wherein sending the selected feedback bit pattern on the selected feedback resource indicates implicit feedback information; and
wherein the implicit feedback information is different from the explicit feedback information. ]
