RESOURCE REQUESTS FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one processor configured to determine quality of service (QoS) information for data to send, the QoS information comprising at least one of multiple possible QoS types, and to generate a resource request comprising the QoS information; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor.

Abstract
Techniques for sending resource requests in a wireless communication system are described. Multiple types of quality of service (QoS) information may be supported for resource requests and may include QoS class and latency deadline. A terminal may have data to send on the reverse link and may determine QoS information for the data. The QoS information may include at least one QoS type, which may be dependent on a configuration selected for use to send resource requests. The terminal may also determine backlog level information indicative of the amount of data to send. The terminal may generate a resource request with the backlog level and QoS information. The resource request may include the backlog level information and QoS class information, the backlog level information and either QoS class information or latency deadline information, the backlog level information and latency deadline information, or some other combination of information.
