Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for processing reverse transmission resources of a user terminal in a mobile communication system. When receiving a plurality of grants, the method and apparatus sum resources allocated by the grants, distribute the summed resources to logical channels, map the resources distributed by the logical channels and the logical channels to MAC PDUs according to the data sizes of the MAC PDUs, and allocate the resources distributed by the mapped logical channels.

Claims (27)

1. A method of a terminal in a mobile communication system, comprising:

determining, based on reception of a plurality of grants for a transmission time interval (TTI) from a base station, to transmit multiple media access control (MAC) protocol data units (PDUs) in the TTI;

aggregating resources indicated in the plurality of grants, each of the grants including uplink scheduling information; and

allocating the aggregated resources to at least one of logical channels in decreasing priority order based on information associated with each resource amount to be allocated preferentially to each of the logical channels.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

mapping the logical channels to the MAC PDUs based on resources allocated to each of the logical channels and sizes of the MAC PDUs.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the mapping of the logical channels to the MAC PDUs comprises mapping the logical channels to the MAC PDUs in decreasing order of the sizes of the MAC PDUs.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the mapping of the logical channels to the MAC PDUs comprises mapping the logical channels to the MAC PDUs in decreasing order of the resources allocated to each of the logical channels.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

configuring radio link control (RLC) PDUs according to the resources allocated to the logical channels.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

allocating retransmission RLC PDUs prior to new transmission RLC PDUs.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

allocating, if any resources remain, the remained resources to the at least one of the logical channels in decreasing priority order.

8. A terminal in a mobile communication system, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a plurality of grants from a base station; and

a resource allocator configured to:

determine, based on reception of a plurality of grants for a transmission time interval (TTI) from a base station, to transmit multiple media access control (MAC) protocol data units (PDUs) in the TTI,

aggregate resources indicated in the plurality of grants, each of the grants including uplink scheduling information, and

allocate the aggregated resources to at least one of logical channels in decreasing priority order based on first information associated with each resource amount to be allocated preferentially to each of the logical channel.

9. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the resource allocator is configured to map the logical channels to the MAC PDUs based on resources allocated to each of the logical channels and sizes of the MAC PDUs.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the resource allocator is further configured to map the logical channels to the MAC PDUs in decreasing order of the sizes of the MAC PDUs.

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the resource allocator is further configured to map the logical channels to the MAC PDUs in decreasing order of the resources allocated to each of the logical channels.

12. The terminal of claim 9 , further comprising:

a radio link control (RLC) device configured to configure RLC PDUs according to the resources allocated to the logical channels.

13. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the RLC device is configured to allocate retransmission RLC PDUs prior to new transmission RLC PDUs.

14. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the resource allocator is configured to allocate, if any resources remained, the remained resources to the at least one of the logical channels in decreasing priority order.
