Abstract
Systems and methods relating to transmit patterns that define multiple transmit opportunities for a wireless device in a cellular communications network are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a wireless device in a cellular communications network comprises receiving an indication of one or more transmit patterns for one or more logical channel groups. Each transmit pattern of the one or more transmit patterns defines a plurality of transmit opportunities. The method further comprises, based on the one or more transmit patterns, determining when to transmit a scheduling request for transmission of data in accordance with the one or more transmit patterns. The method further comprises, upon determining that it is time to transmit a scheduling request, transmitting a scheduling request to a radio access node to thereby request resources for transmission of uplink data in accordance with the one or more transmit patterns.
