Methods and Apparatuses for Repeated Radio Block Transmission

A method performed by a mobile station for repeated radio block transmission in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:

• mapping bits of a burst of data comprised in a radio block, to one or more assigned Time Slots, TSs, in a first time frame for multiple access and to the one or more assigned TSs in a second time frame for multiple access, wherein the second time frame is consecutive of the first time frame, and
• transmitting the burst of data in the uplink.

A mobile station for repeated radio block transmission in a wireless communications network, wherein the mobile station is configured to:

• map bits of a burst of data comprised in a radio block, to one or more assigned Time Slots, TSs, in a first time frame for multiple access and to the one or more assigned TSs in a second time frame for multiple access, wherein the second time frame is consecutive of the first time frame, and
• transmit the burst of data in the uplink.

A method performed by a network node for repeated radio block transmission in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:

• transmitting information about repeated radio block transmission to a mobile station, which information about repeated radio block transmission comprises a burst mapping to be applied by the mobile station in uplink and/or to be expected in downlink, which burst mapping comprises mapping bits of a burst of data comprised in a radio block, to one or more assigned Time Slots, TSs, in a first time frame for multiple access and to the one or more assigned TSs in a second time frame for multiple access, wherein the second time frame is consecutive of the first time frame.

A network node for repeated radio block transmission in a wireless communications network, the network node is configured to:

• transmit an information about repeated radio block transmission to a mobile station, which information about repeated radio block transmission comprises a burst mapping to be applied by the mobile station in uplink and/or to be expected in downlink which burst mapping comprises mapping bits of a burst of data comprised in a radio block, to one or more assigned Time Slots, TSs, in a first time frame for multiple access and to the one or more assigned TSs in a second time frame for multiple access wherein the second time frame is consecutive of the first time frame.
