  • Patent number: 11997044
    Abstract: A node (100) of a wireless communication network manages sending of control information to a radio device (10). For a first frequency band, the control information indicates a first start position for transmission of a data channel. For a second frequency band, the control information indicates a second start position for transmission of the data channel. Based on the first start position and the second start position, the node (100) controls transmission of data on the data channel.
