    Abstract: Systems and methods adapted to provide transmission of communication acknowledgments to facilitate effective delivery and processing of acknowledgments are disclosed. Embodiments may utilize one or more special definition of header and/or control bits (e.g., length indicator, extension field, etc.), special grants (e.g., a grant to carry control PDUs and/or data PDUs with one or more ACKs), and/or one or more special logical channel/radio bearer (e.g., a logical channel having higher priority than regular data bearer traffic) for delivery of acknowledgments, to expedite processing of the acknowledgments, etc. A device receiving such acknowledgments may identify a packet as including one or more acknowledgment upon decoding/deciphering the received packet, such as by detecting a header field containing special data or by receiving the acknowledgment via a special bearer channel, whereby the acknowledgments may be extracted and delivered to upper layers without waiting for all the in-sequence packets to be received or processed.
