In this embodiment, is set the time inserted at random of initiating after the maximum number of times of transmission of SR that transmission number of times that delay timer RA_SR_timer controls SR reaches permission.
SR counter SR_COUNTER is set to be counted the transmission number of times of SR.If SR is triggered and when not having other SR that are in the state of being untreated, SR_COUNTER is changed to 0, the maximum number of times of transmission of the SR that supposes to allow is SR_TRANS_MAX.After a SR is triggered, before this SR is not cancelled, this SR will be considered to be in the SR of the state of being untreated so.
As long as the SR of the state of being untreated is arranged, then UE should carry out following operation at each TTI:
1. if in a TTI, do not have available UL-SCH resource, following situation then arranged:
(1) do not send SR if in any TTI, all be configured effective PUCCH resource, initiate random access procedure so and discharge the SR that all are in the state of being untreated;
(2), and do not measure (that is to say that this TTI measures the space) at this TTI if in this TTI, exist effective PUCCH resource to send SR:
If the transmission number of times of SR is less than the maximum number of times of transmission of the SR that allows, then SR_COUNTER=SR_COUNTER+1, and indication physical layer is sent a SR on PUCCH;
After SR_COUNTER upgrades, if SR_COUNTER>=SR_TRANS_MAX then starts RA_SR_timer.
2. if in this TTI, obtained to be used for the UL-SCH resource of new transfer, then discharged the SR that all are in the state of being untreated.If RA_SR_timer still in operation, then stops RA_SR_timer.
3. after RA_SR_timer was overtime, UE should carry out following operation:
Stop RA_SR_timer, and notice RRC release PUCCH/SRS resource, initiate a random access procedure, and discharge the SR that all are in the state of being untreated.
Specifically mainly may further comprise the steps:
Step 201, SR is triggered, and SR_COUNTER is changed to 0;
Step 202 judges whether there is not the UL-SCH resource among this TTI; If then execution in step 203; Otherwise execution in step 211;
