System and method for uplink data scheduling for grant free transmission
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining a size of a grant free transport block (GFTB) based on a configuration of radio resources available for grant free transmission, upon determining to pursue grant free transmission on first data of a first buffer of at least one buffer based on a size of at least one packet in the first buffer;
selecting the first data to be disjoint from second data of a second buffer of the at least one buffer, upon determining not to pursue grant free transmission on the second data;
populating the GFTB with the first data from the first buffer to produce a populated GFTB; and
transferring, by a user equipment (UE), the populated GFTB from a media access control (MAC) layer to a physical layer (PHY).

Abstract
A method and system provide determining whether to pursue grant free transmission in accordance with a size of at least one packet in a first buffer of at least one buffer and determining a size of a grant free transport block (GFTB) in accordance with a configuration of radio resources available for grant free transmission in instances where grant free transmission is to be utilized. The method also includes populating the GFTB with first data from at least one of the buffers to produce a populated GFTB and transferring the GFTB from a media access control (MAC) layer to a physical layer (PHY).

14. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
-
a memory storage comprising instructions; and one or more processors in communication with the memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to; determine a size of a grant free transport block (GFTB) based on a configuration of radio resources available for grant free transmission, upon determining to pursue grant free transmission on first data of a first buffer of at least one buffer based on a size of at least one packet in the first buffer; select the first data to be disjoint from second data of a second buffer of the at least one buffer, upon determining not to pursue grant free transmission on the second data; populate the GFTB with the first data from the first buffer to produce a populated GFTB; and transfer the populated GFTB from a media access control (MAC) layer to a physical layer (PHY). - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer instructions that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
-
determine a size of a grant free transport block (GFTB) based on a configuration of radio resources available for grant free transmission, upon determining to pursue grant free transmission on first data of a first buffer of at least one buffer based on a size of at least one packet in the first buffer; select the first data to be disjoint from second data of a second buffer of the at least one buffer, upon determining not to pursue grant free transmission on the second data; populate the GFTB with the first data from the at least one buffer to produce a populated GFTB; and transfer the populated GFTB from a media access control (MAC) layer to a physical layer (PHY).
