Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil permettant de configurer et d'identifier une numérologie à utiliser lors d'une communication entre un équipement utilisateur (102) et un nœud de réseau (106). Un procédé donné à titre d'exemple est fourni pour déterminer une numérologie (111) à utiliser lors d'une communication avec un nœud de réseau (106) sur un sous-ensemble de ressources temps-fréquence dans un système de communication sans fil (100). Le procédé donné à titre d'exemple consiste à recevoir un signal de commande provenant du nœud de réseau (106) et à déterminer la numérologie (111) à utiliser pour la communication sur la base du signal de commande. Selon un aspect, la numérologie peut être implicitement ou explicitement indiquée par le signal de commande. L'invention concerne également des procédés donnés à titre d'exemple au niveau du nœud de réseau, ainsi que des dispositifs, des programmes d'ordinateur et des instructions correspondants.
