Abstract
Methods and devices to improve the efficiency of uplink scheduling among user equipment (UEs) are disclosed. In one aspect, a base station with a scheduler utilizes a notional or holding 'LCG,' in addition to LCGs that correspond to an LCG to which a UE maps one or more logical channels. This notional LCG is a dedicated LCG for maintaining temporary priority information based on the receipt of a scheduling request (SR) from the UE.
