Abstract
A radio resource allocation method in a communication node is disclosed. The method comprises determining that a first time reference has a time shift compared to a second time reference. The method further comprises determining a duration of a communication sub-frame based on the time shift, and scheduling the determined communication sub-frame on a first component carrier to a first communication device. Corresponding computer program product, arrangement, communication node and first communication device are also disclosed.
Claims20
A method of radio resource allocation in a communication node, the method comprising:
- determining a duration of a sub-frame based on a misalignment between a first time reference and a second time reference, wherein the first time reference is of a first data communication, using a first component carrier, of a first communication device, and the second time reference is of a second data communication, using a second component carrier, of a second communication device;
- and
- scheduling the determined sub-frame on the first component carrier to the first communication device.
A method of radio resource utilization in a first communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving a scheduling message indicating a duration of a sub-frame from a communication node;
- wherein the duration of the sub-frame is based on a misalignment between a first time reference of a first data communication, using a first component carrier, of the first communication device and a second time reference of a second data communication, using a second component carrier, of a second communication device;
- and
- performing at least one of:
- transmitting data of the first data communication during the sub-frame;
- and
- receiving data of the first data communication during the sub-frame.
