Abstract
There is provided embodiments relating to scheduling in mobile communications systems, and particularly to scheduling of delay tolerant data in mobile communications systems. A scheduling request relating to conditional data transfer of delay tolerant data is received. The delay tolerant data is scheduled for transmission such that the delay tolerant data is to be transmitted in conjunction with data already scheduled for transmission and utilizing available transmission resources non-utilized for transmission of the data already scheduled for transmission.
Claims26
A method for scheduling in a mobile communications system, the method being performed in a network node of the mobile communications system, comprising:
- acquiring a scheduling request relating to conditional data transfer of delay tolerant data;
- and
- scheduling the delay tolerant data for transmission such that the delay tolerant data is to be transmitted in conjunction with data already scheduled for transmission and utilizing available transmission resources non-utilized for transmission of the data already scheduled for transmission.
A network node for scheduling in a mobile communications system, comprising:
- a processing unit arranged to acquire a scheduling request relating to conditional data transfer of delay tolerant data;
- and
- the processing unit further being arranged to schedule the delay tolerant data for transmission such that the delay tolerant data is to be transmitted in conjunction with data already scheduled for transmission and utilizing available transmission resources non-utilized for transmission of the data already scheduled for transmission.
A computer program for scheduling in a mobile communications system, the computer program comprising computer program code which, when run on a network node of the mobile communications system, causes the network node to:
- acquire a scheduling request relating to conditional data transfer of delay tolerant data;
- and
- schedule the delay tolerant data for transmission such that the delay tolerant data is to be transmitted in conjunction with data already scheduled for transmission and utilizing available transmission resources non-utilized for transmission of the data already scheduled for transmission.
