Abstract
A method includes receiving scheduling information for a transmission on a plurality of resource blocks. The method also includes, based on control information on at least one invalid resource block included in the plurality of resource blocks, blocking the transmission on the at least one invalid resource block.
Claims22
A method, for use in a wireless device, for performing transmissions on a wireless communication network, comprising:
- receiving scheduling information for an uplink transmission on a plurality of resource blocks;
- receiving, from a base station, control information configuring at least one invalid resource block included in the plurality of resource blocks;
- receiving, from a base station, at least one downlink activation control message for the control information;
- and
- blocking the uplink transmission on the at least one invalid resource block, the blocking is based on the received control information, and
- wherein the blocking comprises, upon starting the uplink transmission, at least one of activating or deactivating the blocking of the uplink transmission depending on the at least one downlink activation control message,
- wherein when the blocking of the uplink transmission is activated:
- transmission on the at least one invalid resource block is suspended, and
- wherein when the blocking of the uplink transmission is deactivated:
- transmission on the at least one invalid resource block is resumed.
A method, for use in a base station, for scheduling uplink transmissions on a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a wireless device, scheduling information for an uplink transmission on a plurality of resource blocks;
- transmitting, to the wireless device, control information configuring at least one invalid resource block included in the plurality of resource blocks;
- and
- sending, to the wireless device, at least one downlink activation control message for the control information, and
- wherein the uplink transmission is to be blocked on the at least one invalid resource block included in the plurality of resource blocks and wherein the downlink activation control message instructs the wireless device to activate or deactivate blocking of the uplink transmission depending on the at least one downlink activation control message,
- wherein when the blocking of the uplink transmission is activated:
- transmission on the at least one invalid resource block is suspended, and
- wherein when the blocking of the uplink transmission is deactivated:
- transmission on the at least one invalid resource block is resumed.
A method, for use in a base station, for scheduling transmissions on a wireless communication network, comprising:
- scheduling a first transmission between an access node and a first terminal,
- puncturing the first transmission on at least one invalid resource block,
- scheduling a second transmission between the access node and a second terminal on the at least one invalid resource block, and
- transmitting at least one downlink activation control message to the first terminal, at least one downlink activation control message causing the first terminal to activate or deactivate puncturing of the first transmission on the at least one invalid resource block in accordance with the at least one downlink activation control message,
- wherein when the puncturing of the first transmission is activated:
- transmission on the at least one invalid resource block is suspended, and
- wherein when the puncturing of the first transmission is deactivated:
- transmission on the at least one invalid resource block is resumed.
