Mobile terminal device and associated method for obtaining uplink resources
First Claim
1. A method of operating a terminal device for receiving an allocation of radio resources for transmission of uplink data to a base station in a wireless telecommunications system, the method comprising:
- determining, by circuitry of the terminal device, that the terminal device has uplink data waiting for transmission to the base station;
receiving, by the circuitry, an access denial message transmitted from the base station when the base station receives an access request message from a second terminal device that begins a random access procedure of the wireless telecommunications system;
determining, upon reception of the access denial message, that the terminal device should not transmit a request to the base station for an allocation of radio resources for transmission of the uplink data;
waiting, by the circuitry, to receive a radio resource allocation message from the base station to allocate radio resources to be used for transmissions associated with the uplink data determined to be waiting for transmission to the base station; and
receiving the radio resource allocation message comprising radio resources from the base station after the second terminal device completes the random access procedure and the second terminal device is granted radio resources for transmission to the base station, whereinthe base station pre-emptively allocates the radio resources to the terminal device based upon the terminal device being classified as having a common traffic profile characteristic with the second terminal device.

Abstract
A method of allocating radio resources for uplink transmissions in a wireless telecommunications system, the method including: a first terminal device communicating a request for an allocation of radio resources to a base station; the base station determining there is an association between the first terminal device and a second terminal device based on their having similar predicted traffic profiles for uplink data; and the base station establishing a radio resource allocation for the second terminal device based on the resources requested by the first terminal device, and consequently transmitting radio resource allocation messages to allocate radio resources to the first and the second terminal devices for respective uplink transmissions based on the request for an allocation of radio resources received from the first terminal device.

14. A terminal device arranged to receive an allocation of radio resources for transmission of uplink data to a base station in a wireless telecommunications system, the terminal device comprising:
-
circuitry configured to; determine that the terminal device has uplink data waiting for transmission to the base station; receive an access denial message transmitted from the base station when the base station receives an access request message from a second terminal device that begins a random access procedure of the wireless telecommunications system; determine, upon reception of the access denial message, that the terminal device should not transmit a request for an allocation of radio resources to the base station for transmission of the uplink data to the base station; wait to receive a radio resource allocation message from the base station to allocate radio resources to be used for transmissions associated with the uplink data determined to be waiting for transmission to the base station; and receive the radio resource allocation message comprising radio resources from the base station after the second terminal device completes the random access procedure and the second terminal device is granted radio resources for transmission to the base station, wherein the base station pre-emptively allocates the radio resources to the terminal device based upon the terminal device being classified as having a common traffic profile characteristic with the second terminal device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
