Abstract
In accordance with example embodiments of the invention there is at least a method and apparatus to perform determining, by a network node of a communication network, for assignment to at least one network device more than one resource configuration comprising a resource configuration for a contention based resource and a further resource configuration for a dedicated resource, wherein the further resource configuration is reserved as a fall back for a case where a data communication using the contention based resource is not successfully decoded by the network node; and communicating between the network node and the at least one network device information comprising the more than one resource configuration for use to communicate the data communication.
