Patent number: 11178673Abstract: The invention relates to methods for improving a scheduling request transmission between a UE and a base station. The transmission of the scheduling request is postponed, by implementing a threshold that the data in the transmission buffer has to reach, before a transmission of the scheduling request is triggered. In one variant, the data in the transmission buffer needs to reach a specific amount, to trigger a scheduling request. The invention refers to further improvements: the PDDCH monitoring time window is delayed after sending a scheduling request; the dedicated scheduling request resources of the PUCCH are prioritized differently such that low-priority scheduling requests are transmitted less often.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Joachim Loehr, Takahisa Aoyama, Prateek Basu-Mallick, Takashi Tamura, Martin Feuersaenger

Patent number: 11160093Abstract: Scheduling requests are transmitted from a mobile terminal to a base station. The mobile sends a first scheduling request to the base station, the first scheduling request being associated with first data to be transmitted to the base station. The mobile receives a scheduling grant from the base station in response to the first scheduling request and transmits a buffer status report to the base station in response to receiving the scheduling grant. An HARQ acknowledgment for the buffer status report is received. Second data is received for transmission to the base station while at least some of the first data is waiting to be transmitted to the base station. A change in a buffer status of the mobile terminal is detected indicating that the second data has higher priority than the first data. The mobile transmits a second subsequent scheduling request to the base station in response to the change in buffer status.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2020Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Optis Cellular Technology, LLCInventors: Kristina Jersenius, Henning Wiemann, Anna Larmo, Peter Moberg, Eva Englund
