LOGICAL CHANNEL PRIORITIZATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING MULTIPLE UPLINK TRANSPORT BLOCKS

摘要

The invention relates to methods for scheduling of uplink transmission and generating transport blocks according to multiple received uplink assignments. Furthermore, the invention is also related to the implementation of these methods in hardware and software. To propose strategies for generating plural transport blocks within a given time constraint, the invention introduces prioritization of the uplink assignments, so that multiple uplink assignments can be ranked in the mobile terminal in a priority order. The prioritization of the uplink assignments is used to determine the order in which the individual transport blocks corresponding to the uplink assignments are filled, respectively how the data of different logical channels is multiplexed to the transport blocks for transmission in the uplink. Another aspect of the invention is to suggest joint logical channel procedures that operate on virtual transport blocks accumulated from the received uplink assignments. One or more such joint logical channel procedure can be performed in parallel.

1. A method for controlling the transmit power for uplink transmissions on component carriers of a mobile communication system in a power-limited situation, wherein the component carriers have a priority order, the method comprising the following steps performed by a mobile terminal:
receiving uplink resource assignments scheduling the uplink transmissions on the component carriers within a transmission time interval, determining for each of a respective one of the uplink transmissions, a transmit power required for transmitting the respective uplink transmission according to its corresponding uplink resource assignment, reducing the determined transmit power for each of a respective one of the uplink transmissions according to the priority of the component carriers given by the priority order on which the respective uplink transmission is to be transmitted, and transmitting the uplink transmissions on the component carriers within the transmission time interval, using the reduced transmit power.
