Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses and computer program for control signal transmission and reception. A method implemented at a network device comprises: determining a first period and a first plurality of candidate transmission opportunities within the first period, for transmitting a first control signal through a wireless channel; selecting a candidate transmission opportunity from the first plurality of candidate transmission opportunities within the first period; and transmitting the first control signal through the wireless channel to a terminal device using the selected candidate transmission opportunity. By virtue of the method, probability for a successful transmission of the first control signal can be increased.

Claim (Index 3):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein determining the first transmission period and the first plurality of candidate transmission opportunities comprises determining the first transmission period and the first plurality of candidate transmission opportunities based on at least one of:\n a predefined configuration for the first transmission period and the first plurality of candidate transmission opportunities, a type and/or content of the first control signal, a status of the wireless channel, and a quality of service (QoS) requirement of the network device.
