Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method, a mobile system, and a user communication device are disclosed. A receiving unit 408 may receive a downlink packet 620 from a base station 108 . A configuration data storage 412 may store contention based grant data upon receiving the downlink packet 620 and prior to an uplink packet 810 becoming available. A transmitting unit may send an uplink packet 810 based on the contention based grant data.
