Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 24:
25. A network node for prescheduling an uplink communication in a wireless network, the network node comprising:
processing circuitry;
memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the network node is operative to:
receive at least one prescheduling parameter indicative of a communication pattern of the application or service activated on a wireless device, the communication pattern comprising information about a communication schedule of an application or service indicating an expected timing at which the wireless device is to communicate with the network;
assign a priority to a prescheduling of the uplink communication for the wireless device, wherein the priority is based on at least a current network congestion level;
send, to the wireless device, an uplink grant for communication based on the expected timing, wherein the uplink grant comprises an allocation of uplink resources to the wireless device for an uplink transmission; and
receive data associated with the application or service on an uplink shared channel using the allocated uplink resources.
