Abstract:
A method and network node for flexible indication of resources in LTE-M using bitmaps are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method includes indicating to the wireless device a set of reserved resources for machine communications in compatibility with a broadband radio access technology sharing resources in a time frame and frequency band that encompasses the set of reserved resources, the indicating using a two level bitmap operating in the time-domain, a first bitmap level of the two level bitmap indicating a first set of subframes containing reserved resources, and a second bitmap level of the two level bitmap indicating reserved symbols within an indicated subframe.
