BASE STATION AND ASSOCIATED METHOD FOR ASSIGNING UPLINK RESOURCES TO TERMINAL DEVICES WITH A SIMILAR TRAFFIC PROFILE

摘要

A method of allocating radio resources for uplink transmissions in a wireless telecommunications system, including: a first terminal device communicating a request for an allocation of radio resources to a base station; the base station determining whether there is an association between the first terminal device and a second terminal device based on their having similar predicted traffic profiles for uplink data; and the base station establishing a radio resource allocation for the second terminal device based on the resources requested by the first terminal device, and consequently transmitting radio resource allocation messages to allocate radio resources to the first and the second terminal devices for respective uplink transmissions based on the request for an allocation of radio resources received from the first terminal device.

1. A method of operating a base station for allocating radio resources for uplink transmissions in a wireless telecommunications system, the method comprising:
receiving a request for an allocation of radio resources from a first terminal device; determining an association between the first terminal device and a second terminal device; and transmitting a radio resource allocation message to allocate radio resources to the second terminal device for an uplink transmission in response to receiving the request for an allocation of radio resources from the first terminal device.
