Patent ID: 10172153

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Provided are a method and apparatus for uplink scheduling in a mobile communication system. The method of uplink scheduling for a user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system may include identifying the amount of data stored in a buffer, generating a scheduling request (SR), and transmitting the SR to a base station (NB) on the basis of the identified data amount so that an uplink resource is to be allocated from the NB.
