Abstract
A method for data transmission is proposed. The method which may be implemented in a terminal device comprises receiving, from a network node, configuration information about capability of the terminal device to schedule uplink data transmission to the network node. The method further comprises determining whether to schedule, by the terminal device, the uplink data transmission, based at least in part on the configuration information.
Claims14
A method implemented at a terminal device, comprising:
- receiving, from a network node, configuration information about capability of the terminal device to schedule uplink data transmission to the network node;
- and determining whether to schedule, by the terminal device, the uplink data transmission, based at least in part on the configuration information, the configuration information indicating at least one of:
- one or more radio resource units available for the uplink data transmission;
- one or more configuration schemes applicable to the uplink data transmission;
- and
- a maximum time duration allowed for the uplink data transmission;
- and
- the terminal device is capable of scheduling the uplink data transmission, and the determination of whether to schedule the uplink data transmission by the terminal device based at least in part on the configuration information comprising:
- determining whether radio resource granted by the network node is enough to empty uplink data buffered at the terminal device, the granted radio resource being available for the terminal device to transmit uplink data scheduled by the network node;
- and
- determining to schedule the uplink data transmission by the terminal device, in response to the determination that the granted radio resource is not enough to empty the uplink data buffered at the terminal device.
8 more elements
An apparatus implemented in a terminal device, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories comprising computer program codes, the one or more memories and the computer program codes being configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from a network node, configuration information about capability of the terminal device to schedule uplink data transmission to the network node;
- and
- determine whether to schedule, by the terminal device, the uplink data transmission, based at least in part on the configuration information;
- and
- the terminal device capable of scheduling the uplink data transmission, and the determination of whether to schedule the uplink data transmission by the terminal device based at least in part on the configuration information comprises:
- determining whether radio resource granted by the network node is enough to empty uplink data buffered at the terminal device, wherein the granted radio resource is available for the terminal device to transmit uplink data scheduled by the network node, and
- determining to schedule the uplink data transmission by the terminal device, in response to the determination that the granted radio resource is not enough to empty the uplink data buffered at the terminal device.
