Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a radio network node for handling transmission of data from a wireless device in a wireless communication network. The radio network node determines a delay value for a transmission of data from the wireless device based on a transmission type of data from the wireless device or a capability of the wireless device. The capability is related to a processing time for processing received data from the radio network node, or for processing data for transmission to the radio network node. The radio network node further transmits an indication, to the wireless device, which indication indicates the determined delay value.

1. A method performed by a user equipment for performing transmissions of data in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:

receiving a first indication from a radio network node, wherein the user equipment comprises a set of default delay values and wherein the first indication indicates a first delay value from the set of default delay values for a transmission of data from the user equipment, wherein the first delay value comprises a first value of a delay that is to occur between when the user equipment receives a scheduling message and when the user equipment performs a transmission of data scheduled by that scheduling message;

performing a first transmission of data to the radio network node, wherein a timing of the first transmission is based on the indicated first delay value;

receiving a control message from the radio network node, wherein the control message configures the user equipment with a set of one or more second delay values;

performing a second transmission of data to the radio network node, wherein a timing of the second transmission is based on the indicated second delay value.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the control message is a radio resource control (RRC) message.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the user equipment comprises a first table comprising the set of default delay values.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising comparing the indicated second delay value with a minimum delay value with which the user equipment is capable of processing data and performing the second transmission, with a timing based on the indicated second delay value, if the indicated second delay value is greater than or equal to the minimum delay value according to said comparing.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first and/or second indication is comprised in a downlink control information.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second indication is indicating an adjusted delay value and the indicated second delay value is based on the first delay value and the adjusted delay value.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first and/or second indication is based on a capability of the user equipment, which capability is related to a processing time for processing received data from the radio network node, or for processing data for transmission to the radio network node.

8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising

transmitting, to the radio network node, a capability indication indicating the capability related to the processing time of the user equipment.

9. A method performed by a radio network node for performing transmissions of data in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:

transmitting a first indication to a user equipment, wherein the user equipment comprises a set of default delay values and wherein the first indication indicates a first delay value from the set of default delay values for a transmission of data from the user equipment, wherein the first delay value comprises a first value of a delay that is to occur between when the user equipment receives a scheduling message and when the user equipment performs a transmission of data scheduled by that scheduling message;

receiving a first transmission of data from the user equipment;

transmitting a control message to the user equipment, wherein the control message configures the user equipment with a set of one or more second delay values;

transmitting a second indication to the user equipment, wherein the second indication indicates a second delay value from the set of one or more second delay values for a transmission of data from the user equipment, wherein the second delay value comprises a second value of a delay that is to occur between when the user equipment receives a scheduling message and when the user equipment performs a transmission of data scheduled by that scheduling message; and

receiving a second transmission of data from the user equipment.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the control message is a radio resource control (RRC) message.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the user equipment comprises a first table comprising the set of one or more default delay values.

12. A user equipment comprising processing circuitry and a memory, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
