Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/228148, filed on Jul. 23, 2009 and entitled “Advanced Transmission and Reception for DRX and SR”, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for performing Scheduling Request, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for performing Scheduling Request in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system to reduce unnecessary Scheduling Request transmission when the Scheduling Request is sent in a short periodicity, such that power consumption can be saved.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Long Term Evolution wireless communication system (LTE system), an advanced high-speed wireless communication system established upon the 3G mobile telecommunication system, supports only packet-switched transmission, and tends to implement both Medium Access Control (MAC) layer and Radio Link Control (RLC) layer in one single communication site, such as in base stations (Node Bs) alone rather than in Node Bs and RNC (Radio Network Controller) respectively, so that the system structure becomes simple.
- In LTE system, the network, such as an evolved Node B (eNB), performs radio resource allocation to provide user equipments (UEs) with resources for uplink or downlink data transfer. There are two kinds of resource allocations: dynamic resource allocation and pre-configured resource allocation. For the pre-configured resource allocation, the network allocates resource to the UEs by Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and allows the UEs periodically transmitting a certain amount of data, for example, voice data. That means, at periodic time intervals, the UEs can utilize the pre-configured radio resources for data transmission or reception, to achieve data exchange with the network. On the other hand, for the dynamic resource allocation, the network dynamically allocates radio resources to the UEs depending on UE number of the cell area, traffic volume and quality of service (QoS) requirements of each UE, and the UE has to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) to find possible allocation of dynamic resources for both downlink and uplink transmission.
- For the dynamic resource allocation, when the UE has new uplink data to transmit and there is no Uplink Shared Channel (UL-SCH) resource available, the UE shall trigger a Scheduling Request (SR) procedure to request the network to allocate uplink transmission resources. In such a situation, if the UE has configured Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources, the SR procedure is performed via PUCCH signaling. Otherwise, such as the UE has no configured PUCCH resources or the configured PUCCH resources are invalid, for example, the SR procedure is then performed via a Random Access Procedure. Since the PUCCH resources are dedicated transmission resources, the SR message transmitted on PUCCH is referred to as a Dedicated Scheduling Request (D-SR) message, while the SR message transmitted via the Random Access procedure is referred to as a Random Access Scheduling Request (RA-SR) message.
- If the UE has a configured PUCCH resource after an SR is triggered, the UE shall periodically transmit a D-SR message on PUCCH until the SR is cancelled. Note that the SR is cancelled when an uplink transmission resource for a new transmission is received or the number of D-SR transmissions reaches to a pre-defined parameter DSR_TRANS_MAX. When the number of D-SR transmissions reaches to the pre-defined parameter DSR_TRANS_MAX, it indicates uplink transmission of the UE may have some problem, such as the PUCCH resources for SR become invalid (probably due to poor signal quality or improper power settings) or the UE loses synchronization on uplink timing, and thus the D-SR messages sent by the UE cannot be successfully received by the network. In this case, the UE shall stop the D-SR transmission, and trigger a Random Access procedure to transmit the SR message instead.
- According to current specifications, a minimum periodicity for sending SR on PUCCH is 5 ms. It means that UE can send an SR on PUCCH every 5 ms. In this case, the average waiting time required by the UE for sending SR on PUCCH is 2.5 ms. For the growing demands on real-time communication services, the waiting time may be too long. Thus, it has been proposed by the industry to consider having a shorter periodicity like 2 or 3 ms. However, when the periodicity is shorter than the time expenditure the eNB requires to handle the SR message or shorter than packet Round Trip Time (RTT), some of the SR transmission is redundant, and causes unnecessary power waste of the UE.
- It is therefore an objective of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for performing Scheduling Request (SR) in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communications system.
- According to the present invention, a method for performing Scheduling Request (SR) in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes steps of triggering an SR; sending an SR message on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) when the UE has a configured PUCCH resource; and skipping a plurality of transmission opportunities for sending the SR message after the SR message is sent.
- According to the present invention, a communications device for performing Scheduling Request (SR) in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system is disclosed. The communications device includes a processor for executing a program code, and a memory, coupled to the processor, for storing the program code. The program code includes steps of triggering an SR; sending an SR message on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) when the UE has a configured PUCCH resource; and skipping a plurality of transmission opportunities for sending the SR message after the SR message is sent.

From a perspective of a communications protocol framework, thetransceiver 114 can be seen as a portion ofLayer 1, and thecontrol circuit 106 can be utilized to realize functions ofLayer 2 andLayer 3. - Please continue to refer to
FIG. 3 .FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of theprogram 112 shown inFIG. 2 . Theprogram 112 includes anapplication layer 200, aLayer 3 202, and aLayer 2 206, and is coupled to aLayer 1 218. TheLayer 3 202 is used for performing resource control. TheLayer 2 includes a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer and a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, and is used for performing link control. TheLayer 1 218 is used for performing physical connection. - In LTE system, when the UE has new uplink data to transmit such as uplink data arrives to a transmission buffer of the UE, for example, and there is no Uplink Shared Channel (UL-SCH) resource available, the UE would trigger a Scheduling Request (SR) procedure to request the network to allocate uplink transmission resources, such that the uplink data can be transmitted. Under such a situation, the embodiment of the present invention provides a
scheduling request program 220 in theprogram 112 for avoiding unnecessary transmission of scheduling request messages and saving UE power consumption. - Please refer to
FIG. 4 , which illustrates a schematic diagram of aprocess 40 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Theprocess 40 is utilized for performing Scheduling Request (SR) in a UE of a wireless communication system, and can be compiled into thescheduling request program 220. Theprocess 40 includes the following steps: - Step 400: Start.
- Step 402: Trigger an SR.
- Step 404: Send an SR message on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) when the UE has a configured PUCCH resource.
- Step 406: Skip a plurality of SR transmission opportunities after the SR message is sent.
- Step 408: End.
- According to the
process 40, after the SR is triggered, if the UE has configured PUCCH resources, the UE sends an SR message on PUCCH. After the SR message is sent, the UE then skips a plurality of transmission opportunities for sending the SR message. In this case, even a short SR periodicity is used by the UE to transmit the SR message, since the plurality of SR transmission opportunities is skipped each time after the SR message is sent, the embodiment of the present invention is able to reduce unnecessary transmission of the SR message, while the average waiting time for sending the SR message can still be shortened. - If the SR is still pending (i.e. not being cancelled) after the plurality of transmission opportunities is skipped, the UE shall keep on sending the SR message at a next transmission opportunity. Note that the SR is cancelled when an uplink transmission resource for a new transmission is received or the number of times the SR message is sent reaches to a pre-defined parameter DSR_TRANS_MAX.
- For example, please refer to
FIG. 5 .FIG. 5 is an operational diagram of theprocess 40 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Assume that an SR is triggered due to uplink data arrival at a timing point T1. If the UE has configured PUCCH resources, transmission opportunities for the UE to send an SR message would be periodically formed on PUCCH (timing points T2-T6). The time interval between each transmission opportunity is configured according to periodicity of the PUCCH resource, which can be 1 ms to 4 ms but is not limited to these. In the beginning, the UE sends the SR message at a first transmission opportunity (i.e. at the timing point T2). Then, based on theprocess 40, the UE skips a plurality of transmission opportunities, such as two transmission opportunities in this case, for example. If the SR is still pending after the plurality of transmission opportunities is skipped, the UE then sends the SR message again at a next transmission opportunity (i.e. at the timing point T5). And, the UE repeats in this manner until the SR is cancelled. - In the present invention, since the plurality of follow-up transmission opportunity is skipped by the UE each time after the SR message is sent, the UE is able to avoid unnecessary transmissions of the SR message till receiving response from the network, so that the power consumption can be saved. Accordingly, the short SR periodicity can still be used by the UE, and thus the average waiting time required by the UE for sending the SR message (i.e. the time interval between the timing points T1 and T2) can be significantly shortened as well.
- It is worth noting that appropriate modifications or alternations can be certainly made by those skilled in the art according to practical demands, which all belong to the scope of the present invention. For example, the way that the UE skips the plurality of opportunity can be controlled by a counter or a timer, which is also not restricted by this.
- As mentioned above, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method and apparatus for performing scheduling request to avoid unnecessary transmission of the SR message when the UE uses the short SR periodicity, such that power consumption can be saved.
- Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
