1. A method for a communication device configured to communicate with a network node, the method comprising:
determining a first location of a first gap within a first uplink subframe based at least in part on a notification and information at least about the first location of the first gap, the first uplink subframe to be transmitted to the network node, the notification indicating whether the network node is employing partial transmission time intervals, TTIs, within a downlink subframe immediately preceding the first uplink subframe, the first location of the first gap being in a first symbol of the first uplink subframe, a second location of a second gap being in a last symbol of the first uplink subframe; and
transmitting to the network node the first uplink subframe after a first predefined duration of the first gap.
