  • Synchronous transmission of scheduling request and BSR message in 5G/6G
    Patent number: 11438761
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for reducing delays and obtaining rapid uplink access in 5G and 6G, by transmitting pre-grant messages on a random access channel. In one version, a user transmitting an SR (scheduling request) message at a pre-assigned time may transmit a second message on a random access channel synchronized with the SR message. For example, the second message may be a BSR (size) message, thereby avoiding additional delays. In another version, the user may transmit a series of messages on the random access channel without waiting for an uplink grant, thereby reducing delays further. The methods can generally be implemented by software upgrades, a cost-saving advantage. AI (artificial intelligence) may be used to determine which users may transmit messages pre-grant, and on which random access channels.
