ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SIGNALING PROCESSES FOR RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS

There is described a method of operating a feedback radio node (10, 100) in a radio access network. The feedback radio node (10, 100) is being configured with a feedback configuration, the feedback configuration configuring the feedback radio node (10, 100) to provide acknowledgement feedback pertaining to a subject transmission scheduled for reception by the feedback radio node (10, 100), wherein the feedback configuration configures, for the acknowledgement feedback, a plurality of data substructures associated to the subject transmission such that the acknowledgement feedback comprises at least one bit of acknowledgment information for each of the data substructures. The feedback radio node (10, 100) further is being configured with a transmission configuration, the transmission configuration configuring transmission resources for transmission by the feedback radio node (10, 100). The method comprises transmitting, on the transmission resources, acknowledgment feedback pertaining to the subject transmission such that at least one bit of acknowledgment information pertains to a data structure comprising at least two data substructures associated to the subject transmission.The disclosure also pertains to related methods and devices.
