Abstract
Processes and systems for managing preconfigured resources, in particular wireless transmission resources. The disclosure particularly addresses the management of preconfigured resources in relation to Time Sensitive Network (TSN) data transmission. In addition to allocating periodic preconfigured resources, an allowed transmission window (ATW) is defined. The ATW defines which occurrences of the preconfigured resources may be utilised for transmission, in particular which uplink transmission resources may be utilised by a UE. The ATW may be aligned with the expected time of arrival of TSN data (typically the ingress time window) such that the TSN data can be promptly transmitted. The occurrences which occur outside of the ATW are not to be used for transmission and hence may be re-allocated by the base station for other uses.
