There is provided a method for use by a user equipment of a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) that supports HSDPA, and a network node in communication with such a user equipment. In an embodiment the method includes, identifying a transmission gap in a downlink transmission from a base station on a first channel. Next the transmission gap is mapped onto a first channel to define a first suspension period encompassing the subframes of the first channel that overlap the transmission gap. The method further includes expanding the first suspension period to define a further period encompassing the subframes of at least one further channel that overlap the first suspension period, and defining a reception suspension period encompassing the further period, and subframes associated with the subframes falling within the further period.
