Abstract
A method implemented in a wireless device includes receiving an uplink grant from a network node indicating to the wireless device at least one data subframe and at least one control subframe. The at least one data subframe is one where the wireless device is scheduled to transmit a channel for carrying a data stream and optional control data, and the at least one control subframe is one where the wireless device is scheduled to transmit a channel for carrying control data only. The method further includes transmitting in at least one of the at least one data subframe and the at least one control subframe indicated by the uplink grant.
Claims27
A method implemented in a wireless device, comprising:
- receiving an uplink grant from a network node indicating to the wireless device at least one data subframe and at least one control subframe and comprising a request for a channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the at least one data subframe is one where the wireless device is scheduled to transmit a channel for carrying a data stream and optional control data, and the at least one control subframe is one where the wireless device is scheduled to transmit a channel for carrying control data only;
- and
- transmitting in at least one of the at least one data subframe and the at least one control subframe indicated by the uplink grant,
- wherein the uplink grant comprises grant information describing a sequence composed of data subframes and control subframes, each subframe in the sequence being associated with two independently assignable values in the grant information, the first of which being the value indicating whether the subframe is a data subframe or a control subframe, and the second of which being the value indicating whether to include in the subframe a time gap for accommodating a listen-before-talk procedure.
A wireless device comprising:
- a receiver;
- a transmitter;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor for:
- receiving, using the receiver, an uplink grant from a network node indicating to the wireless device at least one data subframe and at least one control subframe and comprising a request for a channel state information (CS I) report, wherein the at least one data subframe is one where the wireless device is scheduled to transmit a channel for carrying a data stream and optional control data, and the at least one control subframe is one where the wireless device is scheduled to transmit a channel for carrying control data only;
- and
- transmitting, using the transmitter, in at least one of the at least one data subframe and the at least one control subframe indicated by the uplink grant,
- wherein the uplink grant comprises grant information describing a sequence composed of data subframes and control subframes, each subframe in the sequence being associated with two independently assignable values in the grant information, the first of which being the value indicating whether the subframe is a data subframe or a control subframe, and the second of which being the value indicating whether to include in the subframe a time gap for accommodating a listen-before-talk procedure.
A network node comprising a receiver, a transmitter, at least one processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor for:
- transmitting, using the transmitter, an uplink grant indicating to a wireless device at least one data subframe and at least one control subframe and comprising a request for a channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the at least one data subframe is one where the wireless device is scheduled to transmit a channel for carrying a data stream and optional control data, and the at least one control subframe is one where the wireless device is scheduled to transmit a channel for carrying control data only;
- and
- receiving, using the receiver, from a wireless device having received the uplink grant, transmissions from the wireless device in the at least one data subframe and the at least one control subframe indicated by the uplink grant,
- wherein the uplink grant comprises grant information describing a sequence composed of data subframes and control subframes, each subframe in the sequence being associated with two independently assignable values in the grant information, the first of which being the value indicating whether the subframe is a data subframe or a control subframe, and the second of which being the value indicating whether to include in the subframe a time gap for accommodating a listen-before-talk procedure.
