Abstract
A method for transmitting data by a user equipment (UE) over a plurality of Transmission Time Interval, TTI, bundles in a communication network is provided. The method comprises: receiving a single control message indicating a uplink scheduling grant for data transmissions; determining a number of TTI-bundles, scheduled for the data transmissions of the UE in accordance with the received control message; and sending the data to the communication network, using the determined number of TTI-bundles. A user equipment for implementing the method is also provided.

1-18. (canceled)
A method for transmitting data by a user equipment (UE) using a plurality of Transmission Time Interval, TTI, bundles in a communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving a single control message indicating an uplink scheduling grant for data transmissions;
- determining a number of TTI-bundles, allocated for the data transmissions of the UE in accordance with the received control message;
- and
- sending the data to the communication network, using the determined number of TTI-bundles.
20-30. (canceled)
A network node for scheduling resources for a user equipment (UE) to transmit data in a communication network, the network node comprising a processing circuitry adapted to cause the network node to:
- determine a number of Transmission Time Interval (TTI)-bundles based at least on an amount of data to be transmitted from the UE;
- and
- send a single control message to the UE, the control message indicating an uplink scheduling grant for transmissions of the determined number of TTI-bundles.
