Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A wireless device for prescheduling an uplink communication in a wireless network, the wireless device comprising:
processing circuitry; and
memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the wireless device is operative to:
identify an activation of an application within the wireless device, wherein the uplink communication to be prescheduled is associated with the application;
determine that the application or service activated on the wireless device will need to communicate with the wireless network;
send, 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;
receive, from a base station, an uplink grant for communication according to the communication schedule, wherein the uplink grant comprises an allocation of uplink resources on a shared uplink channel to the wireless device for an uplink transmission;
transmit data associated with the application or service on the uplink shared channel using the allocated uplink resources;
send, to the network node, a preschedulinq cancellation request if the activation of the application is halted prior to receiving the uplink grant; and
resend, 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.
