Abstract: A method is disclosed comprising defining a hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ profile for a user terminal among a plurality of HARQ profiles available. In an embodiment, the HARQ profile indicates a first time interval between downlink transmission being received in the terminal and corresponding uplink control information being expected to be transmitted from the terminal, and a second time interval between the uplink control information being transmitted from the terminal and corresponding downlink retransmission at earliest being expected to be received in the terminal. In another embodiment, the HARQ profile indicates a third time interval between uplink transmission being received in a base station and corresponding downlink information being expected to be transmitted from the base station, and a fourth time interval between the downlink information being transmitted from the base station and corresponding uplink retransmission at earliest being expected to be received in the base station.

Abstract: There is provided a frame structure for a cellular communication system. According to an embodiment, there is provided a first radio frame configuration defining a frame structure of a radio frame comprising at least one sub-frame dedicated only for downlink transmission. There is also provided a second radio frame configuration defining a frame structure of a radio frame comprising at least one flexible special sub-frame configurable as either a flexible downlink sub-frame or as a flexible uplink sub-frame, wherein the flexible downlink sub-frame and the flexible uplink sub-frame both comprise an uplink part and a downlink part, and wherein both the uplink part and the downlink part carry at least one of control information and a reference signal. Amongst a set of radio frame configurations comprising at least the first and second radio frame configuration, a radio frame configuration is selected and a radio signal carrying an information element indicating the selected radio frame configuration is exchanged in order to configure the selected radio frame configuration for use in the cellular communication system.

Abstract: The disclosure relates operation where information of at least one selected resource from a pool of resources for control signals in uplink is signalled in downlink. At least one resource is selected from a pool of resources for control signals in the uplink, where after information of the selected at least one resource is signalled in the downlink. Communication of control signals in the uplink by at least one device is facilitated such that at least one non-selected resource from the pool of resources is used in sending of control signals in the uplink. The at least one resource is implicitly derived in accordance with a predefined rule.
