Abstract
The present disclosure provides a transceiver device, comprising circuitry, which, in operation, repeats, on a medium access control (MAC) layer, a scheduling request by instructing a transceiver to transmit the scheduling request on a plurality of opportunities of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The transceiver, in operation, transmits the scheduling requests over the PUCCH.
Claims7
A transceiver device, comprising:
- circuitry, which, in operation, repeats, on a medium access control (MAC) layer, a scheduling request by instructing a transceiver to transmit the scheduling request on a plurality of opportunities of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);
- and
- the transceiver, which, according to an allowable request indicator, transmits the scheduling requests over the PUCCH,
- wherein the allowable request indicator indicates a total number of scheduling requests allowed by a plurality of scheduling request configurations per logical channel, wherein
- the circuitry, in operation,
- initiates a plurality of scheduling request prohibit timers, each scheduling request prohibit timer being associated with one of the plurality of scheduling request configurations, and
- does not instruct the transceiver to transmit the scheduling request on an opportunity according to one of the plurality of scheduling request configurations in a case where the scheduling request prohibit timer associated with the one of the plurality of scheduling request configurations is running.

A scheduling device, comprising:
- circuitry, which, in operation, determines an allowable request indicator indicating an allowable number of scheduling requests;
- and
- a transceiver, which, in operation, transmits the allowable request indicator, wherein the allowable request indicator indicates a total number of scheduling requests allowed by a plurality of scheduling request configurations per logical channel, and
- wherein a plurality of scheduling request prohibit timers are associated with the plurality of scheduling request configurations, and the scheduling request is not transmitted on a opportunity according to one of the plurality of scheduling request configurations in a case where the scheduling request prohibit timer associated with the one of the plurality of scheduling request configurations is running.
