Patent ID: 7715360

Claim:
A method for a mobile terminal to transmit scheduling information for an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) transmission to a network in a mobile communication system, the method comprising: transmitting a first data block comprising first data received from an upper layer higher than a medium access control (MAC) layer to the network via the E-DCH using a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process; receiving, during the HARQ process of the first data block, second data from the upper layer to be transmitted with a higher priority than a transmission of the first data to the network via the E-DCH; and triggering the scheduling information by receiving the second data from the upper layer; transmitting the triggered scheduling information with a higher priority than a transmission of any other data to the network, the scheduling information providing the network with information regarding an amount of resources needed by the mobile terminal to transmit at least the second data, and the scheduling information including information regarding data having a highest transmission priority.
