Abstract
A transmitter is included in a mobile communication network. The transmitter is included configured to transmit to a receiver a data channel and a first control channel controlling data transmissions on the data channel, transmit, on the first control channel, an indicator indicating that there is data transmission to the receiver on the data channel. The transmitter also is configured to omit data transmission on the data channel.
