EFFICIENT RESOURCE RESERVATION FOR LTE-M AND NB-IOT

摘要

There is provided network node (110, 550) for handling communication of wireless devices (121, 650) in a wireless communication network (100). The network node comprises processing circuitry (551) configured to send a first configuration message to a wireless device, wherein the first configuration message comprises a resource reservation scheme. The resource reservation scheme comprises at least one bitmap indicating at least one reserved resource, wherein the at least one bitmap indicates reserved resources within a subframe, and wherein resources carrying a predefined reference signal have been excluded from the bitmap. There is also provided a corresponding wireless device (121, 650) for communicating with a network node (110, 550) in a wireless communication network (100), and corresponding methods performed by a network node and a wireless device.
