Methods, devices, and systems for the transmission of information in a wireless communication system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for the transmission of information in a wireless communication system comprises receiving a downlink message, wherein the downlink message includes a first control channel element; determining a first index using the location of the first control channel element; determining a second index; determining a first orthogonal resource using the first index; determining a second orthogonal resource using the second index; spreading an uplink message using the first orthogonal resource to form a first spread signal; spreading the uplink message using a second orthogonal resource to form a second spread signal; transmitting the first spread signal using a first antenna; and transmitting the second spread signal using a second antenna.

Advertising wireless devices (e.g., user equipments (UEs)) within a distributed wireless network may indicate radio frequency and/or baseband capabilities (e.g., via transmitting capabilities messages). A responding UE may receive one or more capabilities messages, and identify radio frequency (RF) capabilities (e.g., indicated via a bitmap) and/or baseband capabilities of the advertising UEs. The responding UE may then determine a transmission scheduling policy based on the one or more received capabilities messages. For example, the responding UE may generate a combined list of frequencies based on the one or more received capabilities messages, and distribute transmissions over the list of frequencies. Additionally or alternatively, the responding UE may determine block decoding baseband capabilities of the one or more advertising UEs, and may accordingly enable block coding schemes for transmissions on frequencies supported by the advertising UEs with such block decoding baseband capabilities.
