Method and apparatus for scheduling uplink transmission

Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for scheduling uplink transmission. The method which may be performed in a terminal device comprises receiving configuration information indicating first and second resource allocations from a network node. In an exemplary embodiment, the first resource allocation, compared with the second resource allocation, may assign more frequent occasions to the terminal device to transmit a scheduling request for uplink data. The method further comprises determining, based at least in part on the configuration information, which of the first and second resource allocations is to be activated for the transmission of the scheduling request. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the uplink transmission can be scheduled adaptively and flexibly, so that network throughput and resource efficiency can be improved.
