The wireless device transmits HARQ feedback for the first data transmission at the determined transmission time. In another aspect, a base station transmits the first data transmission and determines a reception time for receiving HARQ feedback such that the determined transmission time depends on which subset of symbols within the predetermined subframe interval was used.
