TIMESLOT_ALLOCATION (8 bit field)
This information field indicates the timeslots assigned for use during the TBF, the timeslots carrying a PCCCH or the timeslots for which feedback is provided by a time-based encoded PAN field. Bit 8 indicates the status of timeslot 0, bit 7 indicates the status of timeslot 1, etc. At least one timeslot must be assigned. When used to indicate the timeslots constituting PDCH-pairs for which feedback is provided by a time-based encoded PAN field (for TBFs in RTTI or MTTI configuration configuration) an even number of timeslots must be indicated.
