Control channel for wireless communication

A communication device for a wireless communication network, the communication device comprising processing circuitry configured to:

• trigger first communication signaling based on a first communication timing, the first communication timing being based on a signaling format of first control signaling received by the communication device;
• responsive to detecting that the signaling format of the first control signaling is implemented as a quick format, utilize a priori known parameter sets comprising preconfigured time-domain allocations, frequency domain allocations and modulation schemes for scheduling the first communication signaling;
• the signaling format being one of a set of formats configured to the communication device, the set of formats comprising at least a first signaling format represented by a first signaling sequence and a second signaling format represented by a second signaling sequence;
• and
• the first signaling sequence associated to the first communication timing being shorter in and symbol time length or duration in time domain than that of the second signaling sequence associated to a second communication timing.
