Method of transmission, user equipment and network equipment

摘要

A method of transmitting a message between user equipment and network equipment, user equipment and network equipment are disclosed. The method of transmitting a message between user equipment and network equipment in which the message comprises a message header and a message payload, the message header having a plurality of fields, comprises the steps of: setting an indicator field in the message header to indicate that a report providing scheduling information is included in the message payload; setting a secondary indicator field in the message header to indicate that, for at least some values of the secondary indicator field, an alternative report having alternative scheduling information is included in the message payload; and transmitting the message header and message payload. This enables alternative reports to be transmitted from the user equipment without reducing the number of allocatable logical channels or MAC CE types.

主权项

1. A method of transmitting a message between user equipment and network equipment, the message comprising a message header and a message payload, wherein the message comprises a medium access control protocol data unit in which the message header comprises a medium access control sub-header having a logical channel identifier, an extension field, and one or more reserved bits, and in which the message payload comprises a medium access control element, the method comprising:
setting an indicator field in the logical channel identifier to indicate that a report providing scheduling information is included in the medium access control element, wherein the report comprises a short buffer status report or a long buffer status report; setting a secondary indicator field in the one or more reserved bits within the medium access control sub-header to indicate that, for at least some values of the secondary indicator field, an alternative report having alternative scheduling information is included in the medium access control element, wherein the alternative scheduling information comprises at least one of power headroom, path loss, a channel quality indication and differential path loss between the network equipment and the user equipment; and transmitting the message header and message payload.
