Patent ID: 11166302

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to communication schemes for combining 5G communication systems with IoT technology to support higher data transmission rate as post-4G systems and systems for the same. The present disclosure may be used in intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, or connected car, health-care, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related services, etc.) based on the 5G communication technology and IoT-related techniques. Disclosed is a method for transmitting a scheduling request (SR) by a user equipment (UE) in a cellular communication system. The transmitting method may comprises receiving configuration information related to transmission of the SR from an enhanced node B (eNB), determining a value of a timer for prohibiting an SR transmission based on the received configuration information, and transmitting a set of SRs, wherein the timer may start at the time of transmission of a first SR of the SR set.
