Abstract
There is disclosed a network node for a Radio Access Network, the network node (100) being adapted for communication utilising a carrier aggregation comprising at least a first carrier and a second carrier. The network node is adapted for transmitting first downlink control information on the first carrier of the carrier aggregation, and second downlink control information on the second carrier of the carrier aggregation, wherein the first downlink control information and the second downlink control information pertain to transmission on the same uplink carrier. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.

A method of operating a network node in a Radio Access Network, the network node being adapted for communication utilizing a carrier aggregation comprising at least a first carrier and a second carrier, the method comprising:
- transmitting first downlink control information on the first carrier;
- and
- transmitting second downlink control information on the second carrier;
- wherein the first downlink control information and the second downlink control information pertain to transmission on the same uplink carrier and/or reception on the same downlink receiving carrier.
A network node for a Radio Access Network, the network node being adapted for communication utilizing a carrier aggregation comprising at least a first carrier and a second carrier, the network node further being adapted to transmit first downlink control information on the first carrier of the carrier aggregation, and to transmit second downlink control information on the second carrier of the carrier aggregation, wherein the first downlink control information and the second downlink control information pertain to transmission on the same uplink carrier and/or to reception on the same downlink receiving carrier.
A method of operating a user equipment in a Radio Access Network, the user equipment being adapted for communication utilizing a carrier aggregation comprising at least a first carrier and a second carrier, the method comprising:
- receiving first downlink information on a first carrier and/or receiving second downlink information on a second carrier;
- and
- transmitting on an uplink carrier and/or receiving on a downlink receiving carrier, based on the first downlink information and/or the second downlink information.
A user equipment for a Radio Access Network, the user equipment being adapted for communication utilizing a carrier aggregation comprising at least a first carrier and a second carrier, the user equipment further being adapted for transmitting on an uplink carrier, and/or receiving on a downlink receiving carrier, based on first downlink information and/or second downlink information, the first downlink information being received on the first carrier, and/or the second downlink information being received on the second carrier.
