Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
communicate with at least one of a plurality of user equipment an indication to determine an activation probability value;
based on the communicating, receive an indication of the activation probability determined at least one user equipment of the at least one of a plurality of user equipment,
determine at the apparatus the activation probability value for each or some or all of a plurality of user equipment that has data to transmit is exceeding a threshold,
wherein the activation probability is based on a probability of the user equipment causing data transmission;
based on the activation probability value determined at the apparatus of each of some or all of the plurality of user equipment, allocate uplink resources for use by the at least one user equipment;
provide an indication to user equipment of the at least one user equipment of the uplink resources allocated based on the activation probability value determined at the apparatus;
and
provide another indication to the user equipment of a subsequent resource allocation sequence update based on the activation probability determined at the user equipment from the at least one user equipment is exceeding a threshold.
