METHODS ASSIGNING RESOURCES FOR DEDICATED SCHEDULING REQUESTS USING MAC MESSAGES AND RELATED WIRELESS TERMINALS AND BASE STATIONS

摘要

A method of operating a base station of a radio access network may include transmitting a Medium Access Control (MAC) message from the node of the RAN to a wireless terminal UE. The MAC message may include a Control Element CE defining an assignment of resources for dedicated scheduling requests D-SRs available for the wireless terminal (UE) to transmit dedicated scheduling requests to the node.
