1. A node B base station comprising:
- a downlink data scheduler;
an uplink data scheduler;
means for transferring information associated with a downlink data transfer of a data packet received from a data packet network intended for a user equipment (UE) from said downlink data scheduler to said uplink data scheduler,wherein the uplink data scheduler is configured to schedule an initial uplink transfer of uplink data to be transmitted by the user equipment (UE) for a first time over a radio interface using said information as a result of transmitting said downlink data over the radio interface,wherein the uplink data scheduler is further configured to schedule the initial uplink transfer of the uplink data by the user equipment (UE) for the first time over the radio interface independently and regardless of whether a request to transmit the data by the user equipment (UE) has been received by the node B base station.

Abstract
A node B comprises a downlink data scheduler and an uplink data scheduler. Information associated with a downlink data transfer is transferred from the downlink data scheduler to said uplink data scheduler. The uplink data scheduler schedules an uplink data transfer as a result of the transmission of the downlink data transfer.

11. A method in a Node B base station comprising a downlink data scheduler and an uplink data scheduler the method comprising the steps of:
-
transferring information associated with a downlink data transfer of a data packet received from a data packet network intended for a user equipment (UE) from said downlink data scheduler to said uplink data scheduler, and scheduling an initial uplink transfer of uplink data to be transmitted by the user equipment (UE) for a first time over a radio interface using said information as a result of transmitting said downlink data over the radio interface including scheduling the initial uplink transfer of the uplink data by the user equipment (UE) for the first time over the radio interface independently and regardless of whether a request to transmit the data by the user equipment (UE) has been received by the node B base station. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
