A method for a communication device , the method comprising: obtaining a timing advance value, the timing advance value indicating a time period in which the communication device shall advance the uplink transmissions, including the first uplink subframe transmission, to the network node (S1410); obtaining information about a location of a gap within the first uplink subframe , the gap having a predefined duration, the location of the gap occurring after the time period indicated in the timing advance value (S1420); and performing the first uplink subframe transmission after the predefined duration (S1430), the method further comprising: receiving a notification from the network node indicating whether the network node is employing partial transmission time intervals, TTIs, within a downlink subframe immediately preceding the uplink subframe ; determining whether the downlink subframe is partial based on the received notification; if it is determined that the downlink subframe is partial: maintaining the location of the gap within the uplink subframe ; if it is determined that the downlink subframe is not partial: determining if the uplink subframe occurs after the downlink subframe ; and moving the location of the gap based on the time period in the timing advance value if the uplink subframe occurs after the downlink subframe . obtaining a timing advance value, the timing advance value indicating a time period in which the communication device shall advance the uplink transmissions, including the first uplink subframe transmission, to the network node (S1410); obtaining information about a location of a gap within the first uplink subframe , the gap having a predefined duration, the location of the gap occurring after the time period indicated in the timing advance value (S1420); and performing the first uplink subframe transmission after the predefined duration (S1430), the method further comprising: receiving a notification from the network node indicating whether the network node is employing partial transmission time intervals, TTIs, within a downlink subframe immediately preceding the uplink subframe ; determining whether the downlink subframe is partial based on the received notification; if it is determined that the downlink subframe is partial: maintaining the location of the gap within the uplink subframe ; if it is determined that the downlink subframe is not partial: determining if the uplink subframe occurs after the downlink subframe ; and moving the location of the gap based on the time period in the timing advance value if the uplink subframe occurs after the downlink subframe . receiving a notification from the network node indicating whether the network node is employing partial transmission time intervals, TTIs, within a downlink subframe immediately preceding the uplink subframe ; determining whether the downlink subframe is partial based on the received notification; if it is determined that the downlink subframe is partial: maintaining the location of the gap within the uplink subframe ; if it is determined that the downlink subframe is not partial: determining if the uplink subframe occurs after the downlink subframe ; and moving the location of the gap based on the time period in the timing advance value if the uplink subframe occurs after the downlink subframe . determining if the uplink subframe occurs after the downlink subframe ; and moving the location of the gap based on the time period in the timing advance value if the uplink subframe occurs after the downlink subframe . <EOS>
