Scheduling Techinque for Multiple Cells

A radio device for receiving scheduling information at a radio device from a network node of a radio access network (RAN) in radio communication with the radio device through at least two cells, the radio device comprising:

• a memory operable to store instructions and processing circuitry operable to execute the instructions, such that the radio device is operable to:
• receive configuration information from the network node, the configuration information being indicative of at least one table comprising at least two alternatives of the scheduling information for each of the at least two cells;
• and
• receive control information from the network node, the control information being indicative of a reference to one of the at least two alternatives of the scheduling information for each of the at least two cells.
