By means of the control data 300, the network 100 is made aware of the deviation from the schedule 200. Then, the eNB 112 may transmit the DL payload data 261 according to the deviation in order to facilitate timely reception thereof.
FIG. 15 is a signaling diagram illustrating aspects with respect to signaling UL control data 300 indicative of a temporary deviation from a repetitive schedule 200. FIG. 15 further illustrates aspects with respect to switching between the different states 281, 283. FIG. 15 further illustrates aspects with respect to communicating a downlink acknowledgement from the network 100 to the terminal 130.
The example of FIG. 15 generally corresponds to the example of FIG. 12. For example, 8041-8043 correspond to 8001-8003. In the example of FIG. 15, the network 100 sends a DL control message 8044. The control message 8044 is indicative of an acknowledgment 310 of the UL control data 300 which has been previously communicated as part of the control message 8043.
