Abstract
There is provided mechanisms for allocating resources to a terminal device. The method is performed by a network node. A method comprises transmitting a control message towards the wireless device for allocating the resources to the terminal device. The control message indicates that a new dynamic grant or assignment overrides an existing dynamic grant or assignment for the terminal device.
Claims13
A method for receiving allocation of resources from a network node, the method being performed by a terminal device, the method comprising:
- receiving a control message from a network node for allocation of the resources to the terminal device, the control message indicating that a new dynamic grant or assignment overrides an existing dynamic grant or assignment for the terminal device;
- and in response thereto:
- discarding the existing dynamic grant or assignment in order to perform transmission or reception according to the new dynamic grant or assignment, wherein discarding the existing dynamic grant or assignment comprises discarding transmission of uplink control information (UCI) feedback towards the network node as scheduled according to the existing dynamic grant or assignment, and wherein discarding the existing dynamic grant or assignment comprises:
- pushing data of an existing medium access control (MAC) packet data unit (PDU) scheduled in accordance with the existing dynamic grant or assignment back in its transmission queue at protocol layer above MAC.
A terminal device for receiving allocation of resources from a network node, the terminal device comprising processing circuitry, the processing circuitry being configured to cause the terminal device to:
- receive a control message from a network node for allocation of the resources to the terminal device, the control message indicating that a new dynamic grant overrides an existing assignment, for the terminal device;
- and in response thereto:
- discard the existing dynamic grant or assignment in order to perform transmission or reception according to the new dynamic grant or assignment, wherein discarding the existing assignment comprises discarding transmission of uplink control information (UCI) feedback towards the network node as scheduled according to the existing or assignment, wherein the discarding of the existing dynamic grant or assignment comprises causing the terminal device to push data of an existing medium access control (MAC) packet data unit (PDU) scheduled in accordance with the existing dynamic grant or assignment back in its transmission queue at protocol layer above MAC.
