US 10,375,709 B2 · Method and LC device for transmitting scheduling request

Abstract

The present description provides a method for transmitting a scheduling request (SR) in a low-capability (LC) or low-cost (LC) device. The method can comprise a step for receiving an upper layer signal comprising an SR subframe offset and an SR transmission period. The upper layer signal can further comprise information about the number of repetitions. Also, the method can comprise the steps of: determining, on the basis of the SR transmission period and SR subframe offset, a subframe on which the SR is to be transmitted; determining the number of repeated transmissions of the SR on the basis of the information; and transmitting the SR on the determined subframe. The SR can repeatedly be transmitted on a plurality of subframes that begin from the determined subframe.

Dependent claims

A method for transmitting a scheduling request (SR), the method performed by a device configured for a coverage enhancement and comprising:

receiving a higher layer signal including a SR transmission periodicity and a SR subframe offset, the higher layer signal further including information on a repetition number;
determining a first subframe to start a transmission of the SR based on the SR transmission periodicity and the SR subframe offset;
determining a number of subframes used for repeatedly transmitting the SR based on the information;
and
transmitting the SR on the determined first subframe,
wherein the SR is repeatedly transmitted over a plurality of consecutive subframes starting from the determined first subframe by the determined number of subframes.
