Abstract

The present invention provides a method for handling scheduling information report in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system. The method includes steps of triggering a Buffer Status Report (BSR), which is a Regular BSR, and a Power Headroom Report (PHR); and performing resource allocation when having uplink resource allocated for new transmission, wherein resource allocation priority of a MAC control element of the BSR is higher than that of the PHR.

Claims (18)

1. A method for handling a scheduling information report in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

triggering a Buffer Status Report (BSR) and a Power Headroom Report (PHR), wherein the BSR is a Regular BSR; and

performing resource allocation when having uplink resource allocated for a new transmission, wherein resource allocation priority of a Medium Access Control (MAC) control element for the BSR is higher than that for the PHR.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the resource allocation is deciding data content carried in a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU) to be transmitted to a network of the wireless communications system.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAC control element of the BSR is a long BSR MAC control element.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink resource is requested by a Scheduling Request (SR) procedure.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the uplink resource is requested by the SR procedure via a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the uplink resource is requested by the SR procedure via a Random Access procedure.

7. A communication device for handling a scheduling information report in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the communication device comprising:

a processor for executing a program code; and

a memory coupled to the processor for storing the program code; wherein the program code comprises:

triggering a Buffer Status Repo (BSR) and a Power Headroom Report (PHR), wherein the BSR is a Regular BSR; and

performing resource allocation when having uplink resource allocated for a new transmission, wherein resource allocation priority of a Medium Access Control (MAC) control element for the BSR is higher than that for the PHR.

8. The communication device of claim 7 , wherein performing the resource allocation is deciding, data content carried in a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU) to be transmitted to a network of the wireless communications system.

9. The communication device of claim 7 , wherein the MAC control element of the BSR is a long BSR MAC control element.

10. The communication device of claim 7 , wherein the uplink resource is requested by a Scheduling Request (SR) procedure.

11. The communication device of claim 10 , wherein the uplink resource is requested by the SR procedure via a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).

12. The communication device of claim 10 , wherein the uplink resource is requested by the SR procedure via a Random Access procedure.
