Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for data transmission by user equipment adapted to transmit data using resource blocks allocated by a radio network.
  • Devices embodying the invention and methods of operating the devices are also described.
  • a plurality of devices shares resources on a common medium for transmission.
  • One option of avoiding resource conflicts is to perform a scheduling or allocation of resources to selected devices while other devices are not allowed to use the same resources.
  • Dynamic allocation of the resources during operation of the communication network can significantly increase the transmission efficiency so that the resources are not left unused if some of the devices have presently no or only a small amount of data to transmit while others require more resources. Dynamic allocation is particularly suitable if a single instance controlling the allocation is in communication with the plurality of devices sharing the medium.
  • An example are user equipments in a cell or another area of a wireless communication system being controlled by a radio base station or a radio network controller.
  • Dynamic allocations are simplified if the resources are subdivided into resource blocks which can be allocated individually or in groups.
  • a resource block can for example be defined by a frequency range and a time interval in which a device is allowed to transmit data.
  • LTE Long Term Evolution
  • Universal Mobile Telecommunications System which is based on DFT-spread OFDM (Direct Fourier Transform spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), often referred to as Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA).
  • the LTE uplink is divided into resource blocks in time and frequency dimension as shown in Figure 1.
  • time dimension subframes can be subdivided into two slots each as illustrated by their subdivision in the figure.
  • more than one resource block may be simultaneously allocated to one user, e.g. to user #2 having 3 allocated resource blocks in the example.
  • LTE systems use a single carrier property which means that resource blocks allocated to a user equipment are consecutive in the frequency dimension.
  • the uplink Resource Blocks are dedicated to users by means of uplink scheduling grants (SG) being transmitted on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).
  • the uplink grants are addressed to the Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) of the user equipments. More details about this procedure can be found in Technical Specification 3GPP TS 36.321 V8.5.0 (2009-03) of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project; Technical

  • a user equipment (UE) 20 For initiating a transmission, a user equipment (UE) 20 first requests uplink resources by transmitting a Scheduling Request (SR) 22 as illustrated in Figure 2. In LTE this can be done using the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).
  • the radio network e.g. the eNB (Evolved Node B) 24 controlling the cell where the user equipment is located, selects the resource blocks to be allocated to the user and can select also the uplink transport format, defining parameters associated with the uplink transmission, like e.g. transport block size, physical layer coding, and modulation.
  • the eNB 24 performs uplink link adaptation and is aware of the format of the uplink (UL) transmission before it is received.
  • a benefit of this procedure is that no uplink physical control channel is required to carry the information in contrast e.g. to TFCI (Transport Format Combination Identifier) signaling in WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access). This reduces the uplink control signaling and improves coverage.

  • the plurality can also comprise all user equipments in the radio network.
  • the radio network may leave resource blocks without allocation, e.g. in case of low traffic load. It is not required that all resource blocks available for the radio network are allocated for data transmission of user equipment.
  • the allocation may be limited e.g. to one or more shared channels or specific channels may be exempt from the allocation. For example, control channels or random access channels may exist which are permanently assigned to resource blocks and not considered for the allocation to single or pluralities of user equipments.
  • the allocation of resource blocks can be performed on a regular basis or may be triggered by certain events. For example specified transmission time intervals (TTI) may exist in the radio network and the allocation of resources may be performed for each TTI or for groups of intervals.
  • TTI transmission time intervals
  • the method according to Fig. 3 generally starts with step 32 of allocating resource blocks to dedicated user equipments, for example in response to scheduling requests from the respective user equipments. It is possible that no resource blocks are allocated in this step, e.g. if no user equipment has data for transmission and requested scheduling. At least one resource block is not allocated to any dedicated user equipment and can be allocated in step 34 to a first plurality of the user equipments.
  • steps 32 and 34 It is in principle possible to exchange the sequence of steps 32 and 34 although the depicted sequence simplifies it to allocate dedicated resources with priority which is often preferable. However, allocations performed in steps 32 and 34 are coordinated, e.g. using corresponding checks, so that the at least one resource block is not allocated to any dedicated user equipment. The allocations are then signaled to the user equipments in step 36, e.g. via a transmitter of the radio network and a receiver of the user equipment.
  • a user equipment of said first plurality obtains data for transmission in step 38.
  • the data can be received from an internal source within the user equipment, for example from an application executed in the user equipment. Data can also be received from other devices connected to the user equipment.
  • the user equipment can perform a check if allocated resources are available for data transmission. It is also possible that the data for transmission is obtained already at an earlier point in time before step 36 and the user equipment waits for reception of a suitable allocation.
  • the data or at least a part of the data is transmitted by the user equipment towards the radio network using said at least one resource block, i.e. a transport block comprising at least a part of the data is sent in the resource block.
  • a user equipment can initiate a transmission without a prior scheduling request and an according grant so that the latency for initiating a transmission can be considerably enhanced.
  • the required control signaling can thus be reduced.
  • Simultaneously existing dedicated resources allow executing other data transmissions from the same or another user equipment without contention for these dedicated resources.
  • Improved transmission conditions can be provided on the dedicated resources and also the competition for the resources allocated to the plurality of terminals can be limited by using dedicated resources.
  • the resources used for transmission in step 40 are allocated to more than one user equipment so that contention for these resources exists between the user equipments from the first plurality. Accordingly, such resources and the respective transmissions are often denoted as "contention based" in the following. In an embodiment, at least one second user equipment may thus send data in said at least one resource block.
  • dedicated resources and transmissions using dedicated resources are also named “contention free” below and allocated to a single user equipment.

  • Figures 5 and 7 show further flow charts illustrating different embodiments of the method with respect to the involved devices. The flow charts illustrate both sequences of steps in a user equipment designated as UE 1 and in a control device. The different embodiments described in more detail below can be implemented independently of each other unless such dependence is explicitly indicated.
  • identifiers are associated with user equipments and pluralities of user equipment. For example, in an LTE system allocations are identified by the Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier. Correspondingly, in an embodiment a specific identifier identifies the signaled allocation of the at least one resource block allocated to the first plurality, sometimes also denoted as grant. In this way, dedicated resources and resources allocated to a plurality of devices can be distinguished by the according identifier which can also be associated with a specified coding of information in the respective resource blocks. However, it is also possible to change such associations dynamically or signal the coding together with an allocation.
  • the user equipment determines the association of identifiers with itself in step 504, i.e. those identifiers which are associated with UE 1.
  • the determination can be based on signaling as indicated by the arrow between steps 502 and 504 but may be based alternatively or in addition on stored values, e.g. if ranges of identifiers are permanently attributed to contention based resources. So the user equipment UE 1 is both aware of one or more dedicated identifiers and one or more identifiers identifying a plurality of user equipments in which it is included and can scan any received allocation signaling for these identifiers.
  • resource blocks are allocated in steps 506 and 508 by the control device and grants signaled in step 510 to the user equipments including UE 1.
  • the radio network can signal the grants with the identifier on a control channel or on a broadcast channel.
  • the former option is preferable in case resource allocations to pluralities of user equipments frequently change, e.g. on the order of single or few transmission time intervals, while the latter option is preferable if allocations of resources to user pluralities remain constant over longer periods of time so that occasionally broadcasted allocations are sufficient.
  • the signaling comprises the allocations identified by the identifiers and the user equipment UE 1 receives the signaling in step 512.
  • the signaled allocations may also comprise a designation of one or more resource blocks or further information, e.g. a modulation and coding scheme for the transmission.
  • User equipment UE 1 can then identify in step 514 at least one resource block or grant which is allocated to a plurality of user equipments comprising UE1 , i.e. a contention based resource which UE 1 can use.
  • Step 514 can also comprise determining one or more dedicated resource blocks allocated to UE 1. The identification in step 514 is based on the association determined in step 504.
  • step 518 When user equipment UE 1 obtains or detects data for transmission in step 516, e.g. data forwarded by an upper protocol layer into a buffer for transmission, it selects in step 518 one or more resource blocks for transmission from the resource blocks or grants identified in step 514. It is also possible to select whether any allocated resource block is used as described below, i.e. step 518 of selecting comprises not necessarily a choice among different resource blocks. If the detected data initiates a new transmission the user equipment has in most cases no dedicated resources available. Therefore, selecting a contention based resource block allows starting the transmission without the delay for requesting allocation of a dedicated resource. Generally, more than one signaled allocation can be available for transmission by a plurality of users, e.g. simultaneously or at different times.
  • the user equipment can then select the at least one resource block for transmission based upon at least one parameter of a transport format, comprising e.g. a modulation and coding scheme, one or more radio conditions, a data priority and an amount of the data for transmission.
  • the user equipment may thus base the decision on whether to use a resource block allocated to a plurality of users and which resource block to use based on present transmission conditions and/or avoid occupying resources which are not required or unsuitable for transmission, e.g. by using a large resource block for a small amount of data in case resource blocks have different sizes.
  • Resources may be selected based on the data priority and thus e.g. reserved for control signaling or emergency calls.
  • the signaled allocation can also be associated with an allowable selection in dependence on the at least one parameter.
  • the association in step 502 can optionally also associate the identifiers with corresponding selection parameters.
  • the first plurality of the user equipments comprises a pre-specified group of user equipments. In this way resources may be reserved for user groups with specific subscriptions by associating the corresponding groups with different pluralities. Different of the preceding options may be combined.
  • the at least one resource block can also be associated with an access probability.
  • the access probability defines the probability that a resource block is used for transmission by a specific user equipment from the plurality of user equipments to which the resource block is allocated if the user equipment has available data for transmission, i.e. the fraction of resource blocks used by a specific user equipment having data for transmission from the total number of resource blocks allocated to the user equipment.
  • the user equipment can then perform a decision on whether to use, the at least one resource block for transmission based on the access probability. For example the user equipment can determine a random value before accessing the resource block and performs only a transmission in the resource block if the random value exceeds the threshold wherein the value or the threshold is a function of the access probability.
  • load steering can be performed and the probability of access collisions can be adjusted.
  • the decision can be part of selection 518. Accordingly, it is also possible that no resource block is selected for transmission and thus no transmission performed. In such a case the user equipment may send a request for allocation of a dedicated resource to the control device.
  • the data is transmitted in step 520 in the selected resource block or blocks using a corresponding transmitter of the user equipment.
  • the sent data may be stored in order to allow retransmissions in case of transmission failures.
  • the data is received in step 522 either by the control device or optionally also in another device as indicated by the broken lines.
  • the received data can contain information which is intended for use in further resource allocations, e.g. a buffer status report of the user equipment.
  • the corresponding information is preferably forwarded to the control device if the receiver of the data is a distinct device.

  • the identifier 610 identifies the user equipment to the radio network.
  • the identifier 610 is preferably unique and can be for example an identifier used to identify dedicated resources allocated to the user equipment. However, other identifiers are possible, e.g. a Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI), or even a random value provided that the probability is low for having of two user equipments with the same identifier in the area for which the allocations are performed.
  • TMSI Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity
  • the user equipment includes at least one reference signal 612 into the at least one resource block, the reference signal comprising a predefined content for adjusting a decoding procedure of the resource block by the receiver.
  • the user equipment modifies the reference signal 612 in a specified way, e.g. by a specific phase rotation. In this way, transmission from different user equipments within one resource block may be distinguished based on the modification of the reference signals.
  • the data receiver may adapt the decoding of the data in the resource blocks or the control device may modify further allocations, e.g. in order to reduce transmission collisions or by associating resource blocks with other transport formats.
  • Modified reference signals can also be used to transmit other information for adjusting a decoding procedure, e.g. the used allocation if different allocations with different associated transmission formats identify a single resource block so that the modification of the reference signal comprises the information about the association.
  • the user equipment includes an indication 614 of the amount of data received for transmission into the at least one resource block, e.g. by inserting it into the PDU 602. In this way, further dedicated or contention based resources may be scheduled to the user equipment without the necessity of further signaling.
  • the user equipment can send a scheduling request for an allocation of a dedicated resource block outside the at least one resource block 608, e.g. in the same, a previous, or a subsequent transmission time interval. This allows an allocation of resources even if the transmission in the resource block 608 allocated to the plurality of user equipments is lost, e.g. due to data collision with another user equipment. Processing logic in the control device performing the allocations can determine the required resources in case both an indication and a scheduling request are received from the same user equipment.
  • Figure 7 shows further embodiments of the method in a flow chart which starts with a transmission of data in a selected resource block in step 702.
  • This can for example be a transmission as discussed in steps 40 or 520 of the preceding examples, i.e. the transmission is performed in one or more contention based resource blocks allocated to a plurality of user equipments.

  • the storing of a corrupted transmission may be subject to further conditions which indicate whether the corrupted transmission is suitable for soft combining. For example if the control device detects indications that the corruption of the data is due to data collision, e.g. if it detects reference symbols with different modifications indicating different user equipments as data sources, it may decide not to store the corrupted transmission.

In this way it is ensured that the user equipment is correctly identified among the user equipments which can transmit in a particular resource block allocated to a plurality of users. In Fig. 7, this is indicated in step 712 where the control device sends a confirmation indicating a successful reception of data from UE X which is received by user equipment UE 1 in step 714.
  • the acknowledgement can be addressed to the first user equipment, e.g. the identifier of the user equipment. It is also an option to address the acknowledgement using the specific identifier identifying the signaled allocation. Also in the latter case, the acknowledgement can contain an identifier of the first user equipment

Accordingly, the poll timer may be reduced to a pure safeguard mechanism to prevent protocol stall, i.e. the value of the timer could be increased or the timer be switched off. Polling on empty buffer is then sufficient and could be triggered by checking the buffer status.
  • Changing the UE RLC configuration according to CB and CF transmissions may not be advantageous in all cases if it requires RRC signaling.
  • the RLC polling and status reporting configuration may thus be kept the same for CB and CF transmissions.
  • a number of Transport Formats is defined, e.g. by the eNB, and mapped to different CB-RNTIs.
  • the TF can for example comprise a Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS).
  • MCS Modulation and Coding Schemes
  • the UE selects an appropriate CB- RNTI e.g. according to the amount of data to transmit, measured DL path loss and/or uplink power budget. More than one CB-RNTI may point to the same RB. In this way the UE can select different MCS and TF combinations for the same RB depending on the CB-RNTI.
  • Blind detection can be used in the eNB to detect the transmitted format among the possible options.
  • a UE may be allowed to select among a, potentially limited, set of transport formats in response to a single CB-RNTI allocation.
  • different uplink reference symbol phases may be dedicated to different overlapping CB-RNTIs. This can improve the detection of the used CB- RNTIs in the eNB.
  • a variable number of resource blocks signals the used transport format from the UE to the eNB.
  • the eNB signals which RBs are available for contention based uplink transmission using one or several CB-RNTIs.
  • the coding rate for these RB may be fixed, and the UE selects the number of RBs to use according to the amount of data to transmit, DL path loss and uplink power budget.
  • the TF depends on the number of RBs used and the eNB can determine the used TF by detecting how many RBs are received.
  • the eNB may erroneously try to decode detected RBs from different user equipments into one data packet, i.e. Transport Block. In this case decoding may fail and both transmissions are lost. This can also be the case for two UEs transmitting over adjacent RBs. This could be avoided by using different offset or modification of the reference symbols.
  • the number of selected RBs may be smaller than the number resource blocks allocated for CB transmission, e.g. 10 free RBs in an uplink subframe, and the UE selecting to transmit in 4 of them. In this case different options exist for the UE to select the used RBs, e.g. random selection, or starting from an edge of a range of resource blocks.
  • Reference signals enable coherent demodulation of physical channels.
  • uplink reference signals are time-multiplexed with the data for transmission and transmitted in the fourth symbol of each uplink slot, a subframe in LTE comprising 2 slots.
  • the bandwidth is the same as the ongoing UL transmission, i.e. a reference signal spans the same number of resource blocks if the UL transmission of a user is performed on more than one adjacent resource block.
  • the reference signal sequences are ordered into groups, so that each group contains one sequence for each possible resource allocation. In LTE, there are 30 different groups of reference signal sequences, and there is one group per cell. Thus, for a given bandwidth of a resource allocation in a cell, the same reference signal is used.
  • Modification of the reference signals by phase rotation can be used to differentiate between transmissions in the same resource block, for example to separate transmissions of several users in a resource block. This is used e.g. for PUCCH transmission. In total, 12 phase rotations are available, but not all can be used if orthogonality is to be maintained between different resource blocks. For PUCCH, typically 6 rotations are used. Thus the number of possible modifications of the reference signals is generally limited and the use of other procedures of user differentiation may be required in addition.
  • Phase rotation of reference signal could accordingly be used in the receiver of a CB RB, e.g. the eNB, to detect if different UEs are trying to access the radio network simultaneously or consecutively. If the option of variable RB numbers is used to for link adaptation, the receiver can thus detect that transmissions in RBs come from different users, e.g. from 2 users transmitting with 4 RBs each over 8 consecutive RBs.
  • Phase rotation of reference signal can also be used to detect transmission collisions.
  • the results of the collision detection can be used by the CB resource allocation algorithm.
  • the eNB can refrain from CB allocation and rather allocate CF resources. Reducing CB resources to zero in a subframe may be used to cause UEs to send a Scheduling Request, rather than a CB transmission.
  • phase rotation or phase shift of reference signals could also be used to detect which CB-RNTI was used if there are multiple overlapping grants for the same physical resource blocks. The UE would then apply the modification of the reference signal in dependence on the CB-RNTI selected for transmission.
  • the contention based scheme can be extended to unsynchronized UEs in an embodiment.
  • guard times avoid interference towards adjacent subframes. Interference may result if time misalignment causes an unsynchronized UE to transmit such that the reception of this transmission in the eNB overlaps two subsequent subframes. To avoid interference between transmissions due to overlap it is an option to avoid allocating resource blocks for new transmissions in every second subframe.
  • a preamble is preferably sent before or at the beginning of a transmission so that the eNB can detect the timing offset of the UE transmission.
  • a first subframe contains the preamble transmission
  • a CB RB of a subsequent subframe contains at least a part of the for data transmission.
  • the first and second subframe may be separated in time, or they may be adjacent.
  • the radio network can send time alignment information according to the detected offset in response.
  • time alignment information may be sent prior to the data transmission.
  • Such time-alignment could be applied using a response message from the eNB between the aforementioned first and second subframes in line with the LTE release 8 procedures of contention free uplink transmission.
  • uplink data transmission is started before receiving an SG and RBs for contention free transmission by using the contention based transmission as described before for synchronized users.
  • RBs for contention based transmission are, e.g., signaled using CB-RNTIs on PDCCH.
  • the CB- RNTIs can indicate whether the allocation is for use by synchronized or unsynchronized UEs, e.g. if different number ranges are defined for synchronized and unsynchronized UEs.
  • the same CB-RNTIs can be used for both synchronized and unsynchronized UEs.
  • the UE receives new data in a buffer in step or TTI 1201. After processing the data it initiates the UL transmission a few subframes later in step 1202 with a preamble on PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel). As mentioned the selected preamble may indicate whether it corresponds to a CB or a CF transmission. The UE then starts the UL data transmission in step 1203, i.e. before an SG is received, with the same timing in the RBs reserved for CB transmission (wave-shaped hatching). Note that the transmission in the example is not precisely aligned with the start of the subframe due to the missing synchronization.
  • PRACH Physical Random Access Channel
  • An offset between the preamble transmission and the data transmission, one subframe in the present example, may simplify it for the eNB to adjust the receiver.
  • the UE receives a scheduling grant with time alignment information in step 1204. After processing this information, the UE can begin synchronized transmission in step 1205, preferably in CF resources.
  • the preamble space can be divided between contention free and contention based access, to indicate to the eNB which kind of access the UE makes.
  • transmissions may span several subframes to increase efficiency. This is also illustrated in Figures 12 and 13 where CB transmission takes place in 5 or 6 subsequent subframes respectively. Continuous CB transmission could be allowed as long as the same RB allocations are signaled in subsequent subframes for CB access with the same format on PDCCH. If the CB configuration changes between subframes, a new PRACH transmission is again required. Alternatively, the UE can await a Scheduling Grant for contention free resources. If the UE receives the grant, transmission using CB grants is preferably stopped.
  • a busy flag could be used to indicate to other UEs that a transmission is ongoing in a CB resource to reduce collision probability.
  • the eNB could indicate this on PDCCH, but because of the offset of 4 subframes between sending and decoding of the information, the flag would only secure the last few subframes of a CB transmission.
  • the resources allocated for the preamble transmission may also be different from the PRACH.
  • the resource blocks for preamble transmission are accordingly signaled by specific Preamble Transmission (PT)-RNTI(s). This is illustrated in Figure 13 in which the preamble is sent in resource blocks signaled by PT-RNTIs.
  • the UE first receives data for transmission in step 1301 , detects a preamble grant in step 1302 on the downlink control channel and processes the included information. The UE then sends the random access preamble on the defined resource block in step 1303. The subsequent steps 1304 - 1306 of the transmission correspond to those in Figure 12.
  • the PT-RNTIs used can be pre-specified, e.g. defined in a standard, broadcasted on BCCH or configured on DCCH.
  • Allowing preamble transmissions outside the PRACH can significantly reduce the latency compared to CF transmission as the latency for CF transmission is to a large part due to the average waiting delay for a PRACH period.
  • a PUCCH cycle of e.g. 10 ms can be assumed. While the cycle period could in principle be decreased, this would result in a capacity loss as the resources reserved for PRACH can not be used for PUSCH transmission.
  • the resources for preamble transmission can in contrast be allocated on subframe level without blocking the resources for data transmission.
  • the eNB can assign resources for preamble transmission in each subframe, without degrading PUSCH capacity at high load, in particular if an assignment of CB resources is omitted at high load levels.
  • the UE consequently has no context or C-RNTI in the LTE radio access network and contention resolution has to be performed by different means because there is no unique identity of the UE known by the eNB.
  • the UE may identify itself using e.g. a core network identity such as the TMSI.
  • the UE may transmit a random identity providing sufficient uniqueness, such that contention resolution can be resolved using the embodiments described.
  • the UE sends data for transmission and includes the aforementioned identity in the first transmission on the CB resource.
  • the eNB may be configured to transmit the same identity in a subsequent downlink transmission back to the UE.
  • a UE detecting its identity in the downlink transmission can assume that the CB transmission was successful.
  • a UE can assume that the UL transmission was unsuccessful if it does not detect its identity in the associated downlink transmission, either due to lack of any successful reception of feedback from the eNB or due to reception of a different UE identity.
  • Contention resolution using a higher layer identity is supported in MAC through the use the 6 byte UE Contention Resolution Identity MAC Control Element defined in chapter 6.1.3.4 of specification 36.321.
  • the eNB may allocate a C-RNTI to the UE, and transmit the C-RNTI to the UE in the downlink response message.
  • a UE that is lacking a C-RNTI may thus receive a new C-RNTI in the response message indicating that the CB access was successful.
  • the UE in the embodiment described below is in a mode RRC_CONNECTED, meaning that the UE has a connection to the eNB including a C-RNTI that uniquely identifies the UE.
  • a flowchart of the UE operation is shown in Figure 14.
  • Required parameters for uplink contention based transmission can be broadcast in the cell or the UE is configured with them, e.g. via RRC, in step 1402.
  • the UE then enters a waiting state 1404 in which it checks the occurrence of particular events, e.g. the detection of one or more uplink grant in step 1406. For this purpose, the UE can monitor the DL control channel for at least one CB-RNTI it is allowed to use and the own C-RNTI.
  • the UE determines in step 1408 if it has data for transmission in a buffer. If this is not the case it returns to waiting state 1404. If data for transmission is available the further processing depends on the kind of grant as indicated by the check in step 1410.
  • the user equipment selects a suitable CB resource associated with the CB-RNTI that would fulfill its needs for transmission in step 1412.
  • the UE Before transmitting a MAC PDU in one of the available UL CB resource blocks, the UE compares in step 1414 the amount of data with the data rate associated with the CB allocation divided by the round trip time, i.e. the amount of data that can be transmitted during one round trip time on the selected CB resources and it determines whether the CB allocation is sufficient for transmission of the data in the buffer. If the allocation is sufficient, the UE creates a MAC PDU comprising the C-RNTI in step 1416.
  • the MAC PDU can include for example a MAC Control Element (CE) with the C-RNTI for user identification, e.g. the MAC CE as specified in specification 36.321 which comprises 2 bytes.
  • CE MAC Control Element
  • the UE processes the PDU for transmission, transmits the information of the MAC PDU on the selected CB resource block(s) in step 1418, and returns to the waiting state 1404.
  • the UE determines in step 1414 that it has more data in the buffer, it again creates a MAC PDU in step 1420 and transmits it in step 1418 as described before.
  • the MAC PDU created in step 1420 can additionally include a Buffer Status Report (BSR) to request uplink contention free resources.
  • BSR Buffer Status Report
  • the BSR is a request to the eNB to consider granting uplink CF resources to the UE.
  • the UE can also always include the BSR, and let the eNB decide whether to allocate UL CF resources.
  • the eNB Upon correct decoding of an UL CB transmission, the eNB acknowledges the transmission by sending a grant with the UE specific C-RNTI on the PDCCH with a fixed time offset to the UL MAC PDU transmission. If only one transport block is transmitted per transmission time interval, the UE can correlate the ACK to the uplink transmission without the need for a UL MAC sequence number. Besides acknowledging the uplink transmission, the same message can also be used to grant CF resources to the UE. If no UL CF grant is given, this could be indicated to the UE by using an invalid combination of information in the PDCCH grant. Alternatively, an additional bit could be added to indicate whether the grant is also an ACK for CB transmission.
  • the UE determines in step 1422 after one round trip time has elapsed whether it received the ACK, e.g. whether the event of expiry of a corresponding timer occurred.
  • the UE may generate a local negative acknowledgement to the RLC layer in step 1424 so that the RLC layer can initiate a retransmission and provide the RLC retransmission as new data for transmission in the buffer.
  • the retransmission can occur on either the CB resource or a CF resource if such has been granted by the eNB.
  • the grant in the acknowledgement or another uplink grant can also trigger again the transmission sequence via step 1406. If the UE has still data for transmission as determined in step 1408 it can perform further data transmission as described before. The UE can be allowed to continue UL transmission on one CB resource per subframe for one round trip time. If the uplink grant comprises a CF grant as determined in step 1426, further data transmission can continue on granted CF resources as indicated by step 1428. Depending on the implementation, it is possible that check 1426 for CF grants is in contrast to Fig. 14 executed prior to consideration of CB grants so that CF resources are used if those are available.
  • FIG. 15 shows contention based transmission with acknowledgements according to the embodiment.
  • Incoming uplink data is detected in the UE and the transmission is started in transmission time interval (TTI) 1502.
  • TTI transmission time interval
  • the figure shows how the Scheduling Grants (SG) are transmitted in the DL with a constant offset of 4 subframes to the uplink CB transmissions.
  • the offset is due to the delay for processing and transmitting of the data and a fixed offset uniquely identifies the associated time intervals in UL and DL.
  • Arrows indicate how the SGs correspond to the CB transmissions, i.e. which SG acknowledges which transmission and which CF resource is reserved by the SG.
  • a missing SG can trigger a local negative acknowledgement within the UE to the RLC layer, which initiates the retransmission in a CF resource.
  • the UE can still receive a CF uplink grant for TTI 1506, e.g. if a BSR in a previously successful transmission indicated the need for the allocation.
  • the proposed method allows reducing the latency for uplink transmission by allowing the UEs to perform uplink transmission without initial scheduling request and/or grant signaling.
  • the latency is especially reduced for the case where a UE does not have scheduled uplink resource.
  • the method enables also the transition from a dormant state to an active transmission, which takes no more than 10ms. In this way, also the amount of control signaling can be reduced as contention based transmission does not include transmission of Scheduling Requests.
  • DL signaling may increase, as PDCCH Scheduling Grants schedule the UL RBs for CB access.
  • these CB Scheduling Grants are preferably only transmitted in periods of low load so that the additional PDCCH load should not be a problem. In particular for small amounts of data transmission on CB resources may be more efficient than CF transmission with scheduling.
  • a UE can provide the BSR already in the first CB transmission. This means that the eNB can schedule the UE based in buffer status directly from the start. In contrast, for contention free transmission the eNB initially schedules the UE blindly as the Scheduling Request does not include buffer status information. Accordingly, the initial CF allocations can already be adapted to the UE requirements.
