Low Latency Transmission Configuration

A method, in a network node of a wireless communication system, wherein the wireless communication system is adapted to operate in accordance with a first-system standard-latency requirement comprising a first latency, the method comprising:

• receiving a message from a wireless communication device, the message indicating that the wireless communication device is adapted to transmit data associated with a second latency requirement comprising a second latency which is lower than the first latency;
• selecting a first configuration for the wireless communication device from a plurality of configurations, wherein each configuration is associated with a respective group of wireless communication devices adapted to transmit data associated with the second latency requirement, wherein each of the plurality of configurations comprises a respective radio resource for potential transmission by the wireless communication devices of the respective group, and wherein the selection is based on a probability of interference between the potential transmissions by the wireless communication devices of the group associated with the selected configuration;
• and
• transmitting configuration information to the wireless communication device regarding the radio resource of the selected configuration.

An arrangement for a network node of a wireless communication system, wherein the wireless communication system is adapted to operate in accordance with a first-system standard-latency requirement comprising a first latency, the arrangement comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive a message from a wireless communication device, the message indicating that the wireless communication device is adapted to transmit data associated with a second latency requirement comprising a second latency which is lower than the first latency;
• a processing circuit configured to select, in response to the receiver receiving the message, a first configuration for the wireless communication device from a plurality of configurations, wherein each configuration is associated with a respective group of wireless communication devices adapted to transmit data associated with the second latency requirement, wherein each of the plurality of configurations comprises a respective radio resource for potential transmission by the wireless communication devices of the respective group, and wherein the selection is based on a probability of interference between the potential transmissions by the wireless communication devices of the group associated with the selected configuration;
• and
• a transmitter configured to transmit configuration information to the wireless communication device regarding the radio resource of the selected configuration.
