Abstract:
Methods of operating a network node in a RAN may include transmitting control information for a subframe from the network node to a wireless terminal. The control information may include a Time Domain Split (TDS) indication defining a sub-subframe of the subframe, and a duration of the sub-subframe may be less than a duration of the subframe. Moreover, communication of data may be provided between the network node and the wireless terminal during the sub-subframe of the subframe. Methods of operating the wireless terminal may include receiving the control information for the subframe at the wireless terminal from the network node. The control information may include the TDS indication, and communication of the data may be provided between the wireless terminal and the network node during the sub-subframe of the subframe. Related network nodes and wireless terminals are also discussed.
