Further, the invention proposes a specific scheduling mode for use in combination with the proposed control channel signal. According to this scheduling mode control channel information is only provided for retransmissions, while initial transmissions are decoded using blind detection.

Abstract: A radio access network node determines a change in condition of traffic directed to a user equipment. The condition change may comprise jitter caused by a core network component or the condition change may comprise lack of traffic to transmit to the user equipment. The node may determine an offset to compensate for the jitter and transmit the offset to the user equipment, to be used by the user equipment to modify previously-scheduled semipersistent scheduling occasions. The node transmits the jitter-altered downlink traffic according to semipersistent scheduling occasions that have been modified by the offset. If no traffic data is present at the node to transmit to the user equipment, the node may transmit an activate/deactivate indication to be used by the user equipment to deactivate monitoring of a previously-scheduled semipersistent scheduling occasion or to activate monitoring of a different occasion resource.
