Description

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURING A PLURALITY OF
SCHEDULING REQUEST TRIGGERS
Field of the Invention The application relates to a LTE communication system, and particularly to the configuration of a plurality of scheduling request triggers in the LTE communication system.
Background of the Invention Current scheduling request (SR) procedure is designed such that the scheduling request is initiated per user equipment (UE). There is only one scheduling request possible at a time per UE. If the buffer status report (BSR) is triggered due to the arrival of data in buffer, and there is no uplink (UL) resource for the transmission of the triggered BSR, the scheduling request is triggered. According to the current 3 GPP specification, there are two possibilities for the transmission of the scheduling request by a RRC-connected mode
UE: either on dedicated scheduling request resource if dedicated-scheduling request resources (D-SR) are configured or on RACH if there is no D-SR configured for the UE. Only one type of SR transmission could be considered at a time.
Considering one SR per UE, the service characteristics of services of UE is not reflected in the SR trigger. For example, if one kind of service has very low latency requirement, the SR trigger due to data arrival of this service could be relaxed. On the other hand, services with strict latency requirement would require urgent triggering of SR.
Therefore, it would be desirable to configure a plurality of scheduling request triggers for UE based on the service characteristics of services of UE.

FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of a method of configuring a plurality of scheduling request triggers for a user equipment in a communication system.
Throughout the above drawings, like reference numerals will be understood to refer to like, similar or corresponding features or functions.
Detailed Description
Hereinafter, the technical solution of the above first aspect of the invention and the technical solution of the above second aspect of the invention will be described respectively in great detail.
The range of applications run in mobile networks is expanding, and these applications may have diverse service characteristics. These applications may comprise background application which only generates data very infrequently and there is no requirement for urgency in transmission of data generated by the background application. Besides, these applications may further comprise other applications which could generate data of high priority. Therefore there is a need of configuring different scheduling request triggers for these different applications, i.e. different services.
FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of a method of configuring a plurality of scheduling request triggers for a user equipment in a communication system. The communication system may be a LTE communication system, for example.
Referring to FIG. 1, first, in Step SI 1, the base station 10 (BS 10) determines, based on the service characteristics of services of the user equipment 20 (UE 20), a plurality of scheduling request triggers and a transmission type of each of the plurality of scheduling request triggers for UE 20.
UE 20 may be a RRC-connected UE, for example.
The service characteristics of the services of UE 20 may be characterized by any one of:
- QoS of bearers of the user equipment;
- groups of logical channels;
- different types of buffer status reports;
- characteristic of the application running.
The transmission type of each of the plurality of scheduling request triggers may be determined based on the priority of the service corresponding to the scheduling request trigger.
Next, in Step SI 2, BS 10 transmits configuration information of the plurality of scheduling request triggers to UE 10. The configuration information includes the allocation way of the plurality of scheduling request triggers with respect to the services of UE 10 and the transmission type of each of the plurality of scheduling request triggers.
In one embodiment, a dedicated RRC signaling may be used for transmitting the configuration information to UE 20. In another embodiment, a broadcast signaling may be used for communicating the configuration information to the UE 20.
Then, in Step SI 3, UE 20 receives the configuration information from BS 10.
After that, if some data of one service (i.e. current service) arrived at the UL buffer and there is no UL resource available to transmit BSR, UE 20 first selects, based on the service characteristics of current service and the allocation way the plurality of scheduling request triggers with respect to the services of UE 20, a scheduling request trigger corresponding to the current service, and then transmits the triggered scheduling request via the transmission type corresponding to the selected scheduling request trigger.
When to configure a plurality of scheduling request triggers for UE 20 is up to the network implementation. One possible example is that the network may run a dormancy-like timer at the network for UE 20. If there is no user plane data other than what generated from the background traffic for the period defined by dormancy-like timer, the network may configure a plurality of scheduling request triggers for UE 20.
SR triggers may be configured considering lack of traffic from high priority bearers, lack of high priority bearers, and/or change of QoS requirement.
To be specific, it is assumed that UE 20 has two types of services, one is generated by background application ('background service' for short) and the other is generated by high priority application (for example, video service). As background service has a delay tolerant and video service has a strict latency requirement, two different scheduling request triggers are respectively configured for these two services with different service characteristics. For simplicity, hereinafter, the scheduling request trigger configured for background service is called as RSI , and the scheduling request trigger configured for video service is called as RSO.
RSO and RS I can be transmitted via different transmission types due to different latency requirements of background service and video service.
In one example, RSO and RSI may be transmitted on RACH with different RACH configurations. The RACH configuration for RSO transmission has short PRACH periodicity and low access collision probability as video service has strict latency requirement; while the RACH configuration for SRI has large periodicity and high access collision probability as background service is delay tolerance and has relaxed QoS requirement. The RACH configuration may take on different forms. For example, as described above, the RACH configuration for RSO transmission may comprise the time and/or frequency resource and the periodicity of RACH on which RSO is transmitted, and the RACH configuration for RS I transmission may comprise the time and/or frequency resource and the periodicity of RACH on which RS 1 is transmitted. For another example, the RACH configuration for RSO transmission may comprise the group of preambles of RACH for RSO transmission, and the RACH configuration for SRI transmission may comprise the group of preambles of RACH for RS I transmission. The number of preambles for RSI transmission is less than that of RSO transmission due to the fact that background service has a relax latency requirement and has a tolerance for high collision probability. It is to be noted that, based on RACH configurations of RSO and RSI, corresponding RA-RNTI can be derived for differentiating RA response for RSO and RSI.
Alternatively, RSO may be transmitted on RACH and RSI may be transmitted on configured D-SR with large periodicity.
After determination of the allocation way (RSO and RSI) of the scheduling request triggers with respect to two types of services as well as the respective transmission type of RSO and RSI, all these configuration information is transmitted to UE 20 by BS 10.
When UE 20 receives the configuration information, i.e. the allocation way (RSO and
RSI) of the scheduling request triggers with respect to two types of services as well as the respective transmission type of RSO and RSI, from BS 10, it can assign different scheduling request triggers for different types of services based on this configuration information.
Since a plurality of scheduling request triggers are configured for UE 10, there may be a situation that more than one scheduling request triggers occur at the same time. The solutions can be as follows.
When a scheduling request of higher priority (for example, 'RSO' described above) is triggered, the trigger of the scheduling request of lower priority (for example, 'RSI ' described above) may be canceled.
When the transmission of the triggered scheduling request of higher priority (for example, 'RSO' described above) is started, the transmission of the triggered scheduling request of lower priority (for example, 'RSI ' described above) on RACH may be continued or just canceled.
The scenario described above is that UE 20 has two types of services. In another scenario where only background service exists, BS 10 may keep UE 20 running in a RRC-connected mode so as to reduce signaling overhead over the radio/core network interface. As for the scheduling request trigger corresponding to background service, BS
10 may configure D-SR with very large periodicity for this SR transmission, or may release D-SR. Even though there is no urgency of transmission of traffic generated by background applications, the RRC connected UEs may require fast access to the network in order to deliver measurement reports for mobility support and also upon the arrival of data from application with stringent latency requirement, and the SRs for these kinds of services can be transmitted on RACH. RA procedure and RACH capacity is designed in this scenario to satisfy the low latency requirement and hence the collision probability on the RA access is kept low. Additionally physical resources for RACH (time and/or frequency resources) is configured frequently in order to reduce the UE's wait time for a RACH opportunity.
Another example where the use of multiple SR triggers benefit is the MTC devices which provide multiple services. In one scenario, the MTC device may be performing as meter reading while the same time displaying a TV channel. In such a scenario, the SR triggers due to different application is useful in achieving high resource efficiency.
In another aspect of the invention, there is provided an apparatus for configuring a plurality of scheduling request triggers for a user equipment in a base station of a communication system, the apparatus comprising: a first unit for determining a plurality of scheduling request triggers and a transmission type of each of the plurality of scheduling request triggers for the user equipment, based on the service characteristics of services of the user equipment; and a second unit for transmitting configuration information of the plurality of scheduling request triggers to the user equipment, the configuration information of the plurality of scheduling request triggers including the allocation way of the plurality of scheduling request triggers with respect to the services of the user equipment and the transmission type of each of the plurality of scheduling request triggers. In another aspect of the invention, there is provided an apparatus for receiving configuration information related to a plurality of scheduling request triggers from a base station in a user equipment of a communication system, the apparatus comprising: a third unit for receiving configuration information related to a plurality of scheduling requests from the base station, the configuration information including the allocation way of the plurality of scheduling request triggers with respect to the services of the user equipment and the transmission type of each of the plurality of scheduling request triggers.
