Deciding transmission parameters

A method comprising:

• making at a communication device a provisional decision about one or more transmission parameters for a transmission from said communication device to an access network or another communication device via radio resources managed by an access network;
• communicating said provisional decision to said access network or said another communication device;
• and
• receiving from said access network or said another communication device an indication of a final decision about the transmission parameters for said transmission from said communication device to said access network or another communication device.

A method comprising:

• receiving from a communication device at an access network or another communication device a communication about a provisional decision made at said communication device about one or more transmission parameters for a transmission from said communication device to said access network or another communication device via radio resources managed by the access network;
• determining to what extent said provisional decision can be accepted by the access network or another communication device;
• and
• transmitting to said communication device an indication of a final decision about the transmission parameters for said transmission from said communication device to said access network or another communication device.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor and memory including computer program code, wherein the memory and computer program code are configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to:
• make at a communication device a provisional decision about one or more transmission parameters for a transmission from said communication device to an access network or another communication device via radio resources managed by an access network;
• communicate said provisional decision to said access network or said another communication device;
• and
• receive from said access network or said another communication device an indication of a final decision about the transmission parameters for said transmission from said communication device to said access network or another communication device.

A computer program product comprising program code means which when loaded into a computer controls the computer to:

• make at a communication device a provisional decision about one or more transmission parameters for a transmission from said communication device to an access network or another communication device via radio resources managed by an access network;
• communicate said provisional decision to said access network or said another communication device;
• and
• receive from said access network or said another communication device an indication of a final decision about the transmission parameters for said transmission from said communication device to said access network or another communication device.
