PRB bundling extension

A receiving node for receiving data from a transmitting node, wherein the receiving node is operable at least in a dynamic bundling size mode and comprises:

• a communication interface;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• obtain an indication of bundling control information representing at least a number L of slots;
• in response to obtaining the indication of the bundling control information, operate in a dynamic bundling size mode;
• while in the dynamic bundling size mode, receive data from the transmitting node in L consecutive slots assuming that the transmitting node has applied a constant first precoding setting;
• while in the dynamic bundling size mode, receive data from the transmitting node in subsequent L consecutive slots assuming that the transmitting node has applied a constant second precoding setting,
• wherein the first and second precoding settings are independently assignable.

A method by a transmitting node for transmitting data to a receiving node, the method comprising:

• when operating in the dynamic bundling size mode:
• provide the receiving node with an indication of bundling control information representing at least a number L of slots;
• transmit data in L consecutive slots using a constant first precoding setting;
• and
• transmit data in subsequent L consecutive slots using a constant second precoding setting,
• wherein the first and second precoding settings are independently assignable.
