Patent number: 11190324Abstract: It is determined that a first feedback for a first downlink data transmission is to be sent (or received) in a subframe n. If it is further determined that a second feedback for a second downlink data transmission is to be sent (or received) in a first slot of the subframe n, the first feedback is transmitted (or received) within a predetermined short transmission time interval within the first slot. As an addition, if it is further determined there is no second downlink data for which corresponding feedback is to be sent (or received) in the first slot of the subframe n, the first feedback is transmitted (or received) in at least the first slot.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Juha S.

Patent number: 10374774Abstract: A downlink data transmission is performed in a downlink subframe. One or more resources are determined. The one or more resources are to be used for transmission or reception of error information for the received transmission in an uplink subframe based at least on an association set between one or more downlink or special subframes and an uplink subframe. The determined association set depends on a downlink reference configuration. The association set for each uplink subframe comprises a grouping of the downlink or special subframes into at least two groups. An association set is defined only for the subframes which are uplink subframes in a corresponding downlink reference configuration. The error information is transmitted or received using the determined one or more resources in the uplink subframe. Methods, apparatus, programs, and program products are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2014Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Esa T.
