2. SS shall schedule PUSCH transmissions according to Annex A.2.2.1.1 Table A.2.2.1.1-1a to happen during 8 consecutive uplink TTIs via PDCCH DCI format 0 with new data indicator set to true. Since the UE has no payload, the UE shall send uplink MAC padding bits in PUSCH. SS upon receiving the PUSCH transmissions will transmit the associated ACKs. PHICH is set according to Annex 3.6 Table A.3.6-1. SS will only transmit PDCCH to schedule PUSCH transmission in the appropriate sub-frames.
