Uplink scheduling and resource allocation with fast indication
First Claim
1. A method in a UE in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, comprising:
- sending a Voice over IP (VOIP) packet using a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resourcesending a scheduling request using a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource,wherein the PUCCH resource is specific to the UE and configured by a Radio Resource Control;
resending the Scheduling Request at least one time, using PUCCH resource;
wherein transmissions occur on the PUCCH resource only when the UE is sending a Scheduling Request on the PUCCH resource.

Abstract
Systems and methods for signalling transitions between talk-spurt state and silence state for wireless terminals having semi-persistently allocated uplink resources are employed. A layer 1/2 indication of the state transitions may be transmitted using a resource that is specifically allocated for that purpose. Alternatively, ACK/NACK signalling may be employed. Layer 1 indications may be employed for both state transition types. Alternatively, in-band MAC layer signalling may be used to signal state transition from talk-spurt state to silence, or the network may deduce this state transition on its own. A different uplink wireless transition resource is allocated for the talk-spurt state vs. the silence state.
