Abstract

A transmission control technique is provided that is for a scheduling request to reduce latency in uplink transmission. An aspect of the present invention relates to a user equipment including a transceiver that transmits and receives a radio signal to and from a base station; and a scheduling request controller that adjusts a transmission period of a scheduling request in accordance with one or more scheduling request configurations in response to downlink control signaling.

Claims (16)

1. A user equipment, comprising:

a controller that determines a transmission period of a scheduling request in accordance with one or more scheduling request configurations including information on a transmission interval; and

a transceiver that transmits the scheduling request based on the transmission period,

wherein the controller applies, for each bearer of a plurality of bearers, one corresponding scheduling request configuration,

wherein the transceiver receives a transmission timing offset of the scheduling request, the offset being peculiar to each user equipment,

wherein the controller determines transmission timing of the scheduling request based on the transmission period, the offset, and the corresponding scheduling request configuration for each bearer of the plurality of bearers, and

wherein the transceiver transmits the scheduling request based on the transmission timing.

2. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the transceiver receives information on availability of the scheduling request, and

wherein the controller controls transmission of the scheduling request based on the information on availability.

3. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the controller performs random access if no scheduling request resource is available.

4. A transmission method by a terminal, the method comprising:

determining a transmission period of a scheduling request in accordance with one or more scheduling request configurations including information on a transmission interval;

receiving a transmission timing offset of the scheduling request, the offset being peculiar to each user equipment; and

transmitting the scheduling request based on the transmission period and transmission timing,

wherein, for each bearer of a plurality of bearers, one corresponding scheduling request configuration is applied, and

wherein the transmission timing of the scheduling request is determined based on the transmission period, the offset, and the corresponding scheduling request configuration for each bearer of the plurality of bearers.
