Abstract:
A solution for control information transmission applicable in a Licensed-Assisted Access scenario. A method at a first communications device operable in both a licensed spectrum and an unlicensed spectrum. The method starts by checking whether there is a granted resource on a licensed carrier of the licensed spectrum. If there is a granted resource on the licensed carrier, then control information is transmitted via the granted resource on the licensed carrier to a second communications device that is operable in both the licensed spectrum and the unlicensed spectrum; otherwise, it is checked whether there is a granted resource on an unlicensed carrier of the unlicensed spectrum. If there is a granted resource on the unlicensed carrier, then transmission of the control information to the second communications device is attempted via the granted resource on the unlicensed carrier. Correspondingly, there is also provided an apparatus for the control information transmission.
