Method and apparatus for improving reconfiguration procedure for scheduling request
The present invention provides a method for improving a reconfiguration procedure for Scheduling Request (SR) in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system. The method includes steps of receiving an upper layer request for reconfiguring an SR parameter of the UE, and applying new configuration provided by the upper layer request to the SR parameter when an SR is triggered and there is no other SR pending in the UE.
1. A method for improving a reconfiguration procedure for Scheduling Request (SR) in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving an upper layer request for reconfiguring an SR parameter of the UE when a first SR is pending; and
applying new configuration provided by the upper layer request to the SR parameter when the first SR is no longer pending and a second SR is triggered in the UE.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SR parameter is a parameter sr-PUCCH-ReourceIndex, for indicating a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource of an SR.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SR parameter is a parameter sr-ConfigIndex, for indicating a transmission periodicity and a subframe offset of an SR.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the SR pammeter is a parameter dsr-TransMax, for indicating a maximum of transmission times of an SR.
5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
initializing a counter of the SR when the first SR is no longer pending and the second SR is triggered in the UE, wherein the counter is utilized for counting a number of transmission times of an SR.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the upper layer request is generated by a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer.
7. A communication device for improving a reconfiguration procedure for Scheduling Request (SR) in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the communication device comprising:
a processor for executing a program; and
a memory coupled to the processor for storing the program: wherein the program comprises:
receiving an upper layer request for reconfiguring an SR parameter of the UE when a first SR is pending; and
applying new configuration provided by the upper layer request to the SR parameter when the first SR is no longer pending and a second SR is triggered in the UE.
8. The communication device of claim 7 , wherein the SR parameter is a parameter sr-PUCCH-ResourceIndex, for indicating a. Physical Uplink control Channel (PUCCH) resource of an SR.
9. The communication device, of claim 7 , wherein the SR parameter is a parameter sr-ConfigIndex, for indicating a transmission periodicity and a subframe offset of an SR.
10. The communication device of claim 7 , wherein the SR parameter is a parameter dsr-TransMax, for indicating a maximum of transmission times of an SR.
11. The communication device of claim 7 , wherein the program further comprises:
initializing a counter of the SR when the first SR is no longer pending and the second SR is triggered in the UE, wherein the counter is utilized for counting a number of transmission times of an SR.
12. The communication device of claim 7 , wherein the upper layer request is generated by a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer.
