Claim of US Patent No. 10,893,538
1. A method for a network node for generating a scheduling grant for a wireless device of a communication system, wherein the communication system supports variable Transmission Time Interval (TTI) lengths to be transmitted in one TTI, the method comprising:determining a TTI length for a scheduled TTI, wherein the TTI length is determined in number of symbols;
determining at least one reference signal parameter for the scheduled TTI, wherein the at least one reference symbol parameter is selected from a reference symbol position and a reference symbol cyclic shift;
accessing at least one mapping associating TTI indices, TTI lengths and one or more reference symbol parameters; and
encoding the TTI length and the at least one reference symbol parameter into a TTI index,
wherein the TTI length and the one or more reference symbol parameters are encoded into the TTI index using the at least one mapping.
determining at least one reference signal parameter for the scheduled TTI, wherein the at least one reference symbol parameter is selected from a reference symbol position and a reference symbol cyclic shift;
accessing at least one mapping associating TTI indices, TTI lengths and one or more reference symbol parameters; and
encoding the TTI length and the at least one reference symbol parameter into a TTI index,
wherein the TTI length and the one or more reference symbol parameters are encoded into the TTI index using the at least one mapping.
