Method and apparatus for scheduling uplink transmissions with reduced latency

Abstract

A method and apparatus schedule uplink transmissions with reduced latency. A first resource used for transmitting a scheduling request indication in a subframe can be determined at a device. The first resource can be associated with uplink data transmissions using a first TTI length. The first TTI length can include a first number of symbols. A second resource used for transmitting a scheduling request indication in the subframe can be determined. The second resource can be associated with uplink data transmissions using a second TTI length. The second TTI length can include a second number of symbols. The second number of symbols can be smaller than the first number of symbols. A scheduling request indication resource can be selected from one of the first resource and the second resource. The scheduling request indication can be transmitted in the selected scheduling request indication resource in the subframe.
