Method and apparatus for assigning scheduling for uplink packet transmission in a mobile communication system
First Claim
1. A method in a user equipment (UE) for transmitting buffer state information and channel state information (CSI) for scheduling an uplink packet data service in a mobile communication system supporting the uplink packet data service, the buffer state information indicating a state of a data buffer for storing packet data to be transmitted from the UE and the CSI indicating an uplink transmit power of the UE, the method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring different transmission intervals of the buffer state information and the CSI;
initially transmitting the buffer state information and the CSI, if an amount of packet data stored in the data buffer is at least equal to a predetermined threshold; and
periodically transmitting the buffer state information and the CSI at the different transmission intervals.

Abstract
A method in a UE of transmitting buffer state information and CSI for scheduling an uplink packet data service in a mobile communication system supporting the uplink packet data service is provided. The buffer state information indicates a state of a data buffer for storing packet data to be transmitted from the UE and the CSI indicates an uplink transmit power of the UE. The UE acquires different transmission intervals of the buffer state information and the CSI, initially transmits the buffer state information and the CSI, if the amount of packet data stored in the buffer is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, and periodically transmits the buffer state information and the CSI at the transmission intervals.

27. A transmitter in a user equipment (UE) for transmitting buffer state information and channel state information (CSI) for scheduling an uplink packet data service in a mobile cornmunication system supporting the uplink packet data service, the buffer state information indicating a state of a data buffer for storing packet data to be transmitted from the UE and the CSI indicating an uplink transmit power of the UE, the transmitter comprising:
-
a transmission start and end decider for determining a transmission start and end of the buffer state information and the CSI by comparing an amount of packet data stored in the data buffer with a predetermined threshold, the transmission start being determined as a time when the data amount is at least equal to the predetermined threshold; and
