Downlink multiplexing
First Claim
1. A communications node, comprising:
- a memory configured to store allocation data defining an allocation of persistent downlink resources for use in communicating data between the communications node and another node of a communications system within predetermined transmission time intervals (TTIs);
a receiver configured to receive control data relating to a dynamic allocation of resources to be used in a current TTI; and
a controller configured to;
determine if a C-RNTI is present in the control data for a TTI for which a User Equipment (UE) includes persistent downlink resources;
determine that the resource allocation indicated on a control channel for the TTI overrides the persistent downlink resources for the TTI, when a C-RNTI is present in the control channel for a TTI for which said UE has persistent downlink resources; and
allocate persistent downlink resources for a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) transmission.

Abstract
A communications node includes a memory configured to store allocation data defining an allocation of persistent downlink resources for use in communicating data between the communications node and another node of a communications system within predetermined transmission time intervals (TTIs), a receiver configured to receive control data relating to a dynamic allocation of resources to be used in a current TTI, and a controller configured to determine if a C-RNTI is present in the control data for a TTI for which a User Equipment (UE) includes persistent downlink resources, determine that the resource allocation indicated on a control channel for the TTI overrides the persistent downlink resources for the TTI, when a C-RNTI is present in the control channel for a TTI for which the UE has persistent downlink resources, and allocate persistent downlink resources for a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) transmission.

2. A communications method, comprising:
-
storing allocation data defining an allocation of persistent downlink resources for use in communicating data between a communications node and another node of a communications system within predetermined transmission time intervals (TTIs); receiving control data relating to a dynamic allocation of resources to be used in a current TTI; determining if a C-RNTI is present in the control data for a TTI for which a User Equipment (UE) includes persistent downlink resources; determining that the resource allocation indicated on the control channel for the TTI overrides the persistent downlink resources for the TTI, when a C-RNTI is present in the control channel for a TTI for which said UE has persistent downlink resources; and allocating persistent downlink resources for a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) transmission. - View Dependent Claims (3)
