COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, INFRASTRUCTURE EQUIPMENT, COMMUNICATION TERMINAL AND METHOD

摘要

A communications system communicating data to/from a communications terminal includes infrastructure equipment forming a mobile communications network to transmit/receive data to/from the communications terminal via a wireless access interface, the communications terminal configured to transmit/receive data to/from the infrastructure equipment. The communications terminal can receive transmission data to the infrastructure equipment at a buffer, transmit a resource request message requesting resources of the wireless access interface to the infrastructure equipment in response to receiving the data for transmission to the infrastructure equipment, and receive a resource allocation message from the infrastructure equipment. The resource allocation message allocates resources of the wireless access interface to the communications terminal. A characteristic of the resource request message transmitted by the communications terminal to the infrastructure equipment provides an indication of one of a predetermined set of transmission priority levels for transmitting the buffered data to the infrastructure equipment.

1: A communications system for communicating data to and from a communications terminal, the communications system comprising
infrastructure equipment for forming a mobile communications network, the infrastructure equipment being arranged to transmit data to and receive data from the communications terminal via a wireless access interface, the communications terminal being configured
to receive data for transmission to the infrastructure equipment at a buffer,to transmit a resource request message to the infrastructure equipment, the resource request message providing a request for resources of the wireless access interface for transmitting the buffered data to the infrastructure equipment, andto receive a resource allocation message from the infrastructure equipment, the resource allocation message allocating resources of the wireless access interface to the communications terminal for transmitting the buffered data, wherein a characteristic of the resource request message transmitted by the communications terminal to the infrastructure equipment provides an indication of one of a predetermined set of transmission priority levels for transmitting the buffered data.
