Patent ID: 10178615

Abstract:
A method and device for scheduling SR transmissions for a user equipment (UE) associated with an evolved Node B (eNB) of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. The method includes determining an SR is to be transmitted to the LTE network, determining an uplink grant behavior of the eNB, when the uplink grant behavior of the eNB indicates that previous uplink grants satisfy a threshold of previous grants occurring in onDurations of the cycle of a C-DRX functionality, selecting one of the at least one SR opportunity that follows a next onDuration relative to when the indication is received and scheduling the SR in the one of the at least one SR opportunity that follows the next onDuration. The method further including determining an uplink grant turnaround time associated with the eNB, and selecting one of the at least one SR opportunity based on the uplink grant turnaround time.
