Claim 0:
1. A method, in a wireless device, for prescheduling an uplink communication in a wireless network, the method comprising:
identifying an activation of an application within the wireless device, wherein the uplink communication to be prescheduled is associated with the application;
determining that the application or service activated on the wireless device will need to communicate with the wireless network;
sending, to a network node responsive to the determining, at least one prescheduling parameter indicative of a communication pattern of the application or service activated on the wireless device, the communication pattern comprising information about a communication schedule of the application or service indicating an expected timing at which the wireless device is to communicate with the network;
receiving, from a base station, an uplink grant for communication based on the expected timing, wherein the uplink grant comprises an allocation of uplink resources on a shared uplink channel to the wireless device for an uplink transmission; and
transmitting data associated with the application or service on the uplink shared channel using the allocated uplink resources;
sending, to the network node, a preschedulinq cancellation request responsive to the activation of the application being halted prior to receiving the uplink grant; and
resendinq, to the network node, the at least one preschedulinq parameter indicative of a communication pattern of the wireless device upon a further identification of an activation of an application.
