USER EQUIPMENT, NETWORK NODE AND METHODS THEREIN FOR DETERMINING A TRANSPORT BLOCK SIZE IN DOWNLINK TRANSMISSIONS IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

A method in a user equipment (121) for determining a transport block size is provided. The transport block size is used by the user equipment (121) in receiving downlink data transmissions from a network node (110) on an enhanced Control CHannel, eCCH. The user equipment (121) and the network node (1 10) are comprised in a telecommunications system (100). The user equipment (121) has access to a table of predetermined transport block sizes. The user equipment (121) may calculate an indicator NuPRB based on the total number of PRBs allocated to the downlink data transmission NPRB, and based on an PRB offset value OPRB or a PRB adjustment factor APRB. Then, the user equipment (121) may determine the transport block size from the table of predetermined transport block sizes based on at least the calculated indicator NPRB. A user equipment, a method in network node and a network node are also provided.
