Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting subcarriers to be used for sub-Physical Resource Block (PRB) transmission and, in some embodiments, for mapping Demodulation Reference Signals (DMRS) to resources on the selected subcarriers are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a radio node for providing sub-PRB transmission comprises selecting two adjacent subcarriers from a set of three allocated subcarriers that are allocated for a sub-PRB transmission that uses Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) Pi/2 Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation using only two adjacent subcarriers out of the set of three allocated subcarriers with Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) spread length of 2. In some embodiments, the selection is such that the selected adjacent subcarriers varies, e.g., from one cell to another. In doing so, interference is distributed.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method, performed by a network node (110) in a wireless communication system (100), for handling resource allocations for a first User Equipment, UE (120a) out of a set of UEs (120). Each of the UEs (120) in the set of UEs 5(120) has a different pre-configured frequency allocation for cyclic transmissions, such as cyclic UL and/or DL transmissions. The network node (110) determines, based on a data arrival pattern, such as e.g. a packet arrival time, of the cyclic UL transmissions for each of the UEs in the set of UEs (120), one or more TTIs, where a collision between transmissions to and/or from two UEs (120) out of the set of UEs (120) may occur.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for a wireless device and an access node connected with each other over a wireless connection that has a configured packet delay budget and that transports a packet flow established between the wireless device and another device. In response to determining that the packet delay budget of the wireless connection should be adjusted based on end-to-end packet delay measurement performed by the wireless device communication, the wireless device sends an adjustment indication to the access node, where the adjustment indication includes an adjustment value to be applied by the access node in order to change the packet delay budget of the wireless connection. The adjustment value is provided for power saving operation or coverage enhancement of the wireless device.

Abstract: A method and a network node for supporting a service over a radio bearer to a device, involving use of alternative priorities in relation to an estimated radio quality, are disclosed. The radio bearer is associated with a QoS and said device being of a device category that is admitted restricted use of transmission resources on a radio interface between the network node and the device. The method involves applying a first priority, and that is associated with the QoS, to the radio bearer when an estimated quality on the radio interface is at least as good as first level, and applying a second priority, lower than the first priority, to the radio bearer when the estimated quality of the radio interface is less good than said first level.
