Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 3:
4. A method implemented in a host configured to operate in a communication system to provide an over-the-top (OTT) service via the communication system, which further includes a network node and a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
providing user data for the UE; and
initiating a transmission of the user data to the UE via a cellular network comprising the network node, wherein the network node performs operations comprising:
determining a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) to Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) timing for an upcoming downlink data transmission to the UE, the upcoming downlink data transmission comprising the user data;
determining that HARQ feedback for the upcoming downlink data transmission should be delayed by the UE until further notification from the network node;
transmitting, to the UE, a first Downlink Control Information (DCI) associated with the upcoming downlink data transmission, the first DCI comprising a first PDSCH-to-HARQ timing-indicator value for indicating to the UE that the HARQ feedback for the upcoming downlink data transmission should be delayed until further notification from the network node;
transmitting, to the UE, a second DCI associated with an additional upcoming downlink data transmission as the further notification, the second DCI comprising a numerical PDSCH-to-HARQ timing indicator; and
transmitting the user data from the host to the UE in the upcoming downlink data transmission and the additional upcoming downlink data transmission to provide the OTT service.
