Methods and Apparatuses for Handling Configured and Dynamic Downlink Transmissions in a Wireless Communication Network

A radio network node configured for operation in a wireless communication network, and comprising:

• communication circuitry configured to send communication signals to User Equipments (UEs) of the wireless communication network and to receive communication signals from UEs of the wireless communication network;
• and
• processing circuitry operatively associated with the communication circuitry and wherein, with respect to a dynamically scheduled Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) that overlaps in time on a same Downlink (DL) carrier with a semi-persistently scheduled PDSCH, the processing circuitry is configured to encode the dynamically scheduled PDSCH if a starting time of the semi-persistently scheduled PDSCH and an ending time of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling the dynamically scheduled PDSCH satisfies a timing relationship;
• wherein the timing relationship is the ending time of the PDCCH scheduling the dynamically scheduled PDSCH being at least fourteen Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol times before the starting time of the semi-persistently scheduled PDSCH.
