Handling a scheduling request trigger

摘要

A method in a user equipment for handling a scheduling request trigger is provided. The user equipment comprises a buffer. After receiving (501) data arriving into the buffer to be transmitted to a base station, the user equipment generates (503) a scheduling request trigger. The scheduling request trigger is pending until it is cancelled, and is triggered directly or indirectly by the arrived data. The user equipment cancels (504) the pending scheduling request trigger when the data that triggered the generation of the scheduling request trigger is accounted for in a buffer status report to be included in a scheduled data transmission to be transmitted to the base station, or when the data that triggered the generation of the scheduling request is included in a scheduled data transmission to be transmitted to the base station, whichever occurs first.
