Abstract

A wireless device receives, one or more messages from a base station. The one or more messages indicate a first scheduling request (SR) resource corresponding to a first logical channel. A first SR is triggered in response to data of the first logical channel becoming available for transmission to the base station. A second SR is triggered in response to data of a second logical channel becoming available for transmission to the base station. when no valid SR resource is being configured for the second SR: a random access procedure is initiated; and the second SR is canceled and the first SR is kept pending. The first SR is transmitted to the base station via the first SR resource in response to the triggering of the first SR. An uplink grant for transmission of a transport block is received.

Claims (53)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device from a base station, one or more messages indicating a first scheduling request (SR) resource corresponding to a first logical channel;

triggering a first SR in response to data of the first logical channel becoming available for transmission to the base station;

triggering a second SR in response to data of a second logical channel becoming available for transmission to the base station;

when no valid SR resource being configured for the second SR:

initiating a random access procedure; and

canceling the second SR and keeping the first SR pending;

transmitting, to the base station, the first SR via the first SR resource in response to the triggering of the first SR; and

receiving an uplink grant for transmission of a transport block.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting a random access preamble in response to the initiating the random access procedure.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first logical channel corresponds to one or more first transmission durations up to a first value.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more messages indicate a first SR configuration index for a first SR configuration corresponding to the first SR resources.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more messages indicate that the first logical channel corresponds to a first SR configuration.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first SR configuration indicates one or more first SR prohibit timer values and one or more first SR transmission counter values.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first logical channel corresponds to a first quality of service requirement and the second logical channel corresponds to a second quality of service requirement.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the triggering the first SR is in response to triggering a buffer status report for the data of the first logical channel.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the triggering the second SR is in response to triggering a buffer status report for the data of the second logical channel.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or messages indicate one or more random access parameters.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive, from a base station, one or more messages indicating a first scheduling request (SR) resource corresponding to a first logical channel;

trigger a first SR in response to data of the first logical channel becoming available for transmission to the base station;

trigger a second SR in response to data of a second logical channel becoming available for transmission to the base station;

when no valid SR resource being configured for the second SR:

initiate a random access procedure; and

cancel the second SR and keeping the first SR pending;

transmit, to the base station, the first SR via the first SR resource in response to the triggering of the first SR; and

receive an uplink grant for transmission of a transport block.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to transmit a random access preamble in response to the initiating the random access procedure.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first logical channel corresponds to one or more first transmission durations up to a first value.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more messages indicate a first SR configuration index for a first SR configuration corresponding to the first SR resources.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more messages indicate that the first logical channel corresponds to a first SR configuration.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein a first SR configuration indicates one or more first SR prohibit timer values and one or more first SR transmission counter values.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first logical channel corresponds to a first quality of service requirement and the second logical channel corresponds to a second quality of service requirement.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the wireless device triggers the first SR is in response to triggering a buffer status report for the data of the first logical channel.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the wireless device triggers the second SR is in response to triggering a buffer status report for the data of the second logical channel.

20. A system comprising:

a base station; and

a wireless device; and

wherein the wireless device is configured to:

receive, from a base station, one or more messages indicating a first scheduling request (SR) resource corresponding to a first logical channel;

trigger a first SR in response to data of the first logical channel becoming available for transmission to the base station;

trigger a second SR in response to data of a second logical channel becoming available for transmission to the base station;

when no valid SR resource is configured for the second SR:

initiate a random access procedure; and

cancel the second SR and keeping the first SR pending;

transmit, to the base station, the first SR via the first SR resource in response to the triggering of the first SR; and

receive, from the base station, an uplink grant for transmission of one or more transport blocks; and

wherein the base station is configured to:

transmit, to the wireless device, the one or more messages indicating the first scheduling request (SR) resource corresponding to the first logical channel;

receive, from the wireless device, the first SR via the first SR resource; and

transmit, to the wireless device, an uplink grant for transmission of one or more transport blocks.
