Abstract:
1. A method of scheduling request, abbreviated to SR, behavior of a user equipment, abbreviated to UE, in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: triggering an SR, by the UE, for transmitting non-semi-persistent scheduling (non-SPS) data, when the UE does not have any uplink resource for transmitting the non-SPS data for a current transmission time interval, wherein the non-SPS data are those data other than SPS data generated periodically from a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service; and when semi-persistent scheduling is configured to the UE for transmitting SPS data, controlling the triggered SR to remain pending and to be repeatedly transmitted with a coming physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to avoid the triggered SR from being cancelled by SPS resources for transmitting the SPS data, until the uplink resources are granted for a new transmission of the non-SPS data.
