Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and device for determining feedback timing. In example embodiments, the first communication device obtains information indicating at least one of a capability, a timing requirement, and a service type of a second communication device. Based on the obtained information, the first communication device determines feedback timing to be used by the second communication device. Then, the first communication device sends an indication of the feedback timing to the second communication device for communication with the second communication device in accordance with the feedback timing.
Claims10
A method performed by a first communication device, the method comprising:
- selecting a first feedback timing to be used by a second communication device, if a transport block size to be used for transmitting to the second communication device is below a defined threshold or if a transmission mode to be used for transmitting to the second communication device is a specific one among two or more defined transmission modes, and otherwise selecting a second feedback timing to be used by the second communication device, where the second feedback timing is longer than the first feedback timing;
- and
- configuring the second communication device to use the selected feedback timing, based on sending an indication of the selected feedback timing to the second communication device.
A first communication device comprising:
- transceiver circuitry configured to transmit signals to and receive signals from a second communication device;
- and
- processing circuitry operatively associated with the transceiver circuitry and configured to:
- select a first feedback timing to be used by a second communication device, if a transport block size to be used for transmitting to the second communication device is below a defined threshold or if a transmission mode to be used for transmitting to the second communication device is a specific one among two or more defined transmission modes, and otherwise select a second feedback timing to be used by the second communication device, where the second feedback timing is longer than the first feedback timing;
- and
- configure the second communication device to use the selected feedback timing, based on sending an indication of the selected feedback timing to the second communication device.
