Technique for Communicating Control Information

A method of receiving control information in a radio network from a first station at a second station, the control information being indicative of a plurality of parameters for a radio communication involving at least the second station, the method comprising or triggering the steps of:

• receiving a reference to an entry of a table and supplementary information, wherein the table comprises a collection of entries, wherein the reference identifies or points to the referenced one of the entries in the table, and wherein the referenced entry of the table is indicative of one or more first parameters of the control information;
• and determining the plurality of second parameters of the control information by combining the referenced entry with the supplementary information.

A device for transmitting control information in a radio network from a first station to a second station, the control information being indicative of a plurality of parameters for a radio communication involving at least the second station, the device being configured to trigger or perform the steps of:

• determining an entry of a table comprising a collection of entries, wherein the determined entry is indicative of one or more first parameters of the control information;
• and
• transmitting, to the second station, a reference to the determined entry of the table and supplementary information, wherein the reference identifies or points to the determined one of the entries in the table, and wherein the determined entry and the supplementary information are jointly indicative of the plurality of second parameters of the control information.
