Abstract

A terminal device includes: a transmitter configured to transmit a scheduling request for an uplink (UL) resource; and control circuitry configured to stop an ongoing random access procedure when a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) is transmitted using a configured Uplink (UL) grant other than a UL grant provided by a random access response in the random access procedure, wherein the configured UL grant indicates a resource configured prior to the ongoing random access procedure, wherein the MAC PDU includes a buffer status prior to the MAC PDU assembly.

Claims (28)

1. A terminal device comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a scheduling request for an uplink (UL) resource; and

control circuitry configured to stop an ongoing random access procedure when a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) is transmitted using a configured Uplink (UL) grant other than a UL grant provided by a random access response in the random access procedure, wherein the configured UL grant indicates a periodic wireless resource configured prior to the ongoing random access procedure,

wherein the MAC PDU includes a buffer status reporting an amount of stored data and a last event that triggered a BSR prior to assembling the MAC PDU.

2. The terminal device of claim 1 , wherein stopping the ongoing random access procedure includes to stop receiving another UL grant after the MAC PDU that uses the configured UL grant is transmitted.

3. The terminal device of claim 1 , wherein the random access procedure is configured to perform transmission of a random access preamble and reception of a random access response.

4. The terminal device of claim 1 , wherein the MAC PDU is transmitted by using a resource assigned by the random access procedure.

5. The terminal device of claim 1 , wherein the random access procedure is ongoing when the MAC PDU is transmitted using a resource that is provided by the random access procedure or the random access procedure is stopped when the MAC PDU is transmitted using a resource that is configured by a UL grant.

6. The terminal device of claim 1 , wherein transmission of the buffer status report (BSR) is performed in the random access procedure.

7. The terminal device of claim 1 , wherein the random access response is for a random access preamble.

8. The terminal device of claim 1 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to stop all ongoing operations of the random access procedure in the terminal device.

9. A base station device comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a random access response in a random access procedure or an uplink (UL) grant;

a receiver configured to receive a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) which is transmitted using a configured UL grant or to receive a MAC PDU which is transmitted using a UL grant provided by the random access response; and

control circuitry configured to stop an ongoing random access procedure when the MAC PDU is transmitted using the configured UL grant other than the UL grant provided by the random access response in the random access procedure, wherein the configured UL grant indicates a periodic wireless resource configured prior to the ongoing random access procedure,

wherein the MAC PDU includes a buffer status reporting an amount of stored data and a last event that triggered a BSR prior to assembling the MAC PDU.

10. The base station device of claim 9 , wherein stopping the ongoing random access procedure includes to stop transmitting another UL grant after the MAC PDU that uses the configured UL grant is transmitted.

11. The base station device of claim 9 , wherein the random access procedure is ongoing when the transmitter transmits the UL grant provided by the random access response.

12. The base station device of claim 9 , wherein the random access procedure includes performing reception of a random access preamble and transmission of a random access response.

13. The base station device of claim 9 , wherein the MAC PDU is received with a resource assigned by the random access procedure.

14. The base station device of claim 9 , wherein either the random access procedure is ongoing when the MAC PDU is received with a resource provided by the random access procedure or the random access procedure is stopped when the MAC PDU is received with a resource provided by a UL grant.

15. The base station device of claim 9 , wherein reception of the buffer status report (BSR) is performed in the random access procedure.

16. The base station device of claim 9 , wherein the random access response is for a random access preamble.

17. A scheduling request method comprising:

transmitting a scheduling request for an uplink (UL) resource; and

stopping an ongoing random access procedure when a media access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) is transmitted using a configured UL grant other than a UL grant by a random access response in the random access procedure, wherein the configured UL grant indicates a periodic wireless resource configured prior to the ongoing random access procedure,

wherein the MAC PDU includes a buffer status reporting an amount of stored data and a last event that triggered a BSR prior to assembling the MAC PDU.

18. The scheduling request method of claim 17 , wherein stopping the ongoing random access procedure includes to stop receiving another UL grant after the MAC PDU that uses the configured UL grant is transmitted.
