## Abstract

Provided are a method and a device for a terminal executing a scheduling request in wireless communication. The method may include: receiving, from a base station, scheduling request configuration information for configuring a scheduling request using a multi-scheduling request resource; allocating the multi-scheduling request resource according to the scheduling request configuration information; and transmitting, to the base station, a multi-scheduling request using the multi-scheduling request resource.
