Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for fast transmission by a UE of scheduling requests for low latency data transmission. When transmit data for transmission on an uplink shared channel arrives, the UE determines whether the scheduling request to be sent by the user equipment to request uplink resources for transmission of the data will overlap a scheduled data transmission. If it is determined that the scheduling request will overlap the scheduled data transmission, the UE may preempt the scheduled data transmission to transmit the scheduling request. Preemption may be based on one or more predetermined criteria including the priority of the new transmit data, the periodicity of the scheduling request interval, and the remaining duration of the ongoing data transmission.

Abstract: In one aspect, a wireless device receives a scheduling grant and a grant confirmation signal indicating that a network node has performed a CCA on a carrier and is releasing the carrier for the wireless device. An uplink message is transmitted on the carrier without performing a CCA on the carrier. In another aspect, a wireless device is connected to a first cell and a second cell configured on a carrier requiring an LBT protocol. The wireless device receives configuration messages indicating that downlink transmissions on the second cell are to be scheduled. This can mean self-scheduling for downlink on the second cell and cross-carrier scheduling for uplink on the first cell. The wireless device receives a scheduling grant in the first cell and performs a CCA in the second cell. The wireless device then transmits an uplink message responsive to success of the CCA.
