Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method in a communication device for scheduling of feedback. The method includes determining, for a data transmission, a resource element to be scheduled for a feedback signal being responsive to the data transmission. The resource element is determined to be within a feedback time limit. The feedback time limit indicates a maximum allowable time period between transmitting the data transmission and receiving the feedback signal. The feedback time limit is dependent on a type of resource allocated to the data transmission and/or a type of traffic associated with the data transmission. The method further includes transmitting, to a wireless device, a feedback scheduling instruction indicating the resource element.
Claims32
A method in a communication device for scheduling of feedback, the method comprising:
- determining, for a data transmission, a resource element to be scheduled for a feedback signal being responsive to the data transmission, the resource element being determined to be within a feedback time limit, the feedback time limit indicating a maximum allowable time period between transmitting the data transmission and receiving the feedback signal, the feedback time limit being dependent on at least one of a type of resource allocated to the data transmission and a type of traffic associated with the data transmission;
- and
- transmitting, to a wireless device, a feedback scheduling instruction before a scheduling time limit expires, such that the feedback signal can be received before the feedback time limit expires, the feedback scheduling instruction indicating the resource element, and the feedback scheduling instruction including an indication of the feedback time limit, the scheduling time limit being set depending on the one of the type of resource and the type of traffic.
A communication device for scheduling of feedback, the communication device comprising:
- a determining unit configured to determine, for a data transmission, a resource element to be scheduled for a feedback signal being responsive to the data transmission, the resource element being determined to be within a feedback time limit, the feedback time limit indicating a maximum allowable time period between transmitting the data transmission and receiving the feedback signal, the feedback time limit being dependent on at least one of a type of resource allocated to the data transmission and a type of traffic associated with the data transmission;
- and
- a transmitting unit configured to transmit, to a wireless device, a feedback scheduling instruction before a scheduling time limit expires, such that the feedback signal can be received before the feedback time limit expires, the feedback scheduling instruction indicating the resource element, and the feedback scheduling instruction including an indication of the feedback time limit, the scheduling time limit being set depending on the one of the type of resource and the type of traffic.
A method in a wireless device for transmitting a feedback signal responsive to a data transmission from a communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the communication device, a feedback scheduling instruction transmitted before a scheduling time limit expires, such that a feedback signal can be received by the communication device before a feedback time limit expires, the feedback scheduling instruction indicating at least one resource element scheduled for the feedback signal, and the feedback scheduling instruction including an indication of the feedback time limit, the feedback time limit indicating a maximum allowable time period between the communication device transmitting the data transmission and the communication device receiving the feedback signal, and the scheduling time limit and the feedback time limit each being dependent on at least one of a type of resource allocated to at least one of the data transmission and a type of traffic associated with the data transmission;
- and
- transmitting the feedback signal to the communication device using at least one of the at least one resource element, the at least one resource element being within the feedback time limit.
A wireless device for transmitting a feedback signal responsive to a data transmission from a communication device, the wireless device comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive, from the communication device, a feedback scheduling instruction transmitted before a scheduling time limit expires, such that a feedback signal can be received by the communication device before a feedback time limit expires, the feedback scheduling instruction indicating at least one resource element scheduled for the feedback signal, and the feedback scheduling instruction including an indication of the feedback time limit, the feedback time limit indicating a maximum allowable time period between the communication device transmitting the data transmission and the communication device receiving the feedback signal, and the scheduling time limit and the feedback time limit each being dependent on at least one of a type of resource allocated to at least one of the data transmission and a type of traffic associated with the data transmission;
- and
- a transmitting unit configured to transmit the feedback signal to the communication device using at least one of the at least one resource element, the at least one resource element being within the feedback time limit.
