Method and apparatus for performing backoff for scheduling request in wireless communication system
A method and apparatus for scheduling uplink (UL) transmission in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives a backoff parameter from a network, and determines whether or not to apply the received backoff parameter before transmitting a scheduling request (SR) to the network via a dedicated channel. Whether or not to apply the received backoff parameter is determined according to a prioritized access, and the prioritized access corresponds to one of emergency access, high priority access, control element/information in media access control (MAC), radio link control (RLC) or packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), data radio bearer (DRB) for voice/video service, signaling radio bearer (SRB) 0 , SRB 1 , SRB 2 , multimedia telephony service (MMTEL)-voice, MMTEL-video, and voice over long-term evolution (VoLTE).
1. A method for scheduling uplink (UL) transmission in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a backoff configuration from a network via a radio resource control (RRC) connection message, wherein the backoff configuration includes a backoff parameter for delaying a transmission of a scheduling request (SR);
determining, by the UE, whether or not to apply the received backoff parameter before transmitting the SR to the network via a dedicated channel;
if it is determined that the received backoff parameter is applied, transmitting, by the UE, the SR to the network via the dedicated channel after delaying the transmission of the SR according to the received backoff parameter; and
receiving, by the UE, an uplink grant from the network,
wherein the backoff parameter is configured for a specific logical channel in order to delay the transmission of the SR for the specific logical channel, and
wherein the backoff parameter for delaying the transmission of the SR is configured by an upper layer.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
if it is determined that the received backoff parameter is not applied, transmitting, by the UE, the SR to the network via the dedicated channel without delaying the transmission of the SR.
3. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting or receiving a radio signal; and
a processor coupled to the RF unit, and configured to:
receive a backoff configuration from a network via a radio resource control (RRC) connection message, wherein the backoff configuration includes a backoff parameter for delaying a transmission of a scheduling request (SR); and
determine whether or not to apply the received backoff parameter before transmitting the SR to the network via a dedicated channel;
if it is determined that the received backoff parameter is applied, transmit the SR to the network via the dedicated channel after delaying the transmission of the SR according to the received backoff parameter; and
receive an uplink grant from the network,
wherein the backoff parameter is configured for a specific logical channel in order to delay the transmission of the SR for the specific logical channel, and
wherein the backoff parameter for delaying the transmission of the SR is configured by an upper layer.
4. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
if it is determined that the received backoff parameter is not applied, transmit the SR to the network via the dedicated channel without delaying the transmission of the SR.
