RESOLVING A SERVING GRANT DEADLOCK AT A MOBILE STATION CONFIGURED FOR ENHANCED|UPLINK (EUL)

摘要

A user equipment (UE) and a method of using the UE are provided for fulfilling a network's intent to increase or decrease the serving grant for the UE in spite of a deadlock condition that may otherwise prevent fulfillment of the network's intent. That is, upon determining the network's intent, the UE may alter its serving grant according the intent by altering the number of packets for transmission in a TTI. In a different embodiment, the user equipment carries out a unilateral increase of a serving grant to include an additional packet in accordance with stored serving grant under-utilization loss information since translation or quantization of a serving grant into a number of bits may result in truncation.
