Abstract
A method for operating a network node in a wireless communication network. The method comprises detecting signals transmitted from wireless communication devices scheduled for uplink transmissions. The method also comprises selecting a subset of the detected signals for decoding. The method also comprises decoding the selected subset and initiating a rescheduling of the wireless communication devices that transmitted the detected signals that were not selected. Also disclosed is a method performed by a network device in a wireless communication network. The method comprises scheduling wireless communication devices for uplink transmissions. The method also comprises obtaining information enabling an identification of a subset of wireless communication devices that transmitted signals using said scheduling but whose transmitted signals were not selected for decoding and rescheduling said subset of wireless communication devices for uplink transmissions. Corresponding network nodes and network devices and relate computer programs are also disclosed.
