Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for using relative uplink transmission delay indexing are provided. For example, a user equipment (UE) and a network node may determine valid uplink transmission occasions for control information and the network node may communicate an indication of a position of a valid uplink transmission occasion to the UE relative to other valid uplink transmission occasions for the control information.
Claims18
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- determine one or more valid uplink transmission occasions for control information based on a mapping of machine type communication physical downlink control channel occasions to physical downlink shared channel occasions and corresponding physical uplink control channel occasions that a user equipment is to apply during a hybrid automatic repeat request initial configuration;
- and
- transmit signaling comprising an indication of a position of a valid uplink transmission occasion for control information relative to a position of one or more other valid uplink transmission occasions for control information.
