SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REQUESTING UPLINK RESOURCES IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus, method and system for scheduling uplink resources in communication systems. In one embodiment, the apparatus (e.g., user equipment) 300 includes a buffer 340 containing data to be transmitted to an entity (e.g., a base station) 400 of the communication system. The apparatus 300 also includes a processing unit 310 configured to provide a request for the entity 400 for an uplink resource allocation for transmission of the data in the buffer 340 when the data is a first type. The processing unit 310 is also configured to provide a request following a delay period for the entity 400 for an uplink resource allocation for transmission of the data in the buffer 340 when the data is a second type.
