Abstract

One embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for uplink SPS release. The method for operating a network node device comprises: determining whether or not there is a dynamically scheduled uplink transmission for a communication device in an uplink sub-frame where the communication device needs to perform an uplink SPS release; sending to the communication device, in response to determining that there is a dynamically scheduled uplink transmission for the communication device in the uplink sub-frame where the communication device needs to perform an uplink SPS release, a dynamic scheduling DCI message for the dynamically scheduled uplink transmission. At least one field of the dynamic scheduling DCI message is configured in a manner that the dynamic scheduling DCI implicitly indicates the uplink SPS release. The method further comprises sending to the communication device, in response to determining that there is no dynamically scheduled uplink transmission for the communication device in the uplink sub-frame where the communication device needs to perform an uplink SPS release, an uplink SPS release DCI message to explicitly indicate the uplink SPS release. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there are provided corresponding methods and devices.
