Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

It is presented methods and apparatuses for uplink resource utilization in a telecommunication system. More particularly, embodiments disclosed herein relate to a method performed in a user equipment ( 4 ), said user equipment ( 4 ) having data (D i ) ready to transmit, the data pertaining to a traffic class (i). The method comprises establishing a connection with a radio network node ( 2 ) and receiving threshold parameter sets (Th i ) from the radio network node ( 2 ). Each threshold parameter set (Th i ) comprising at least a minimum size limit (S i ) associated with respective traffic class (i). The threshold parameter sets (Th i ) are used to determine if the amount of data that the user equipment ( 4 ) has ready to transmit is large enough to be transmitted or if it has been waiting long enough to be transmitted. If it is the UE ( 4 ) transmits the data to the radio network node ( 2 ). There are also presented a corresponding method performed in the network node ( 2 ) and a user equipment ( 4 ) and a network node ( 2 ) for performing the methods.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method performed in a user equipment capable of transmitting data pertaining to at least a first predefined traffic class (i), said method comprising: receiving at least a first threshold parameter set (Th i ) from a radio network, the first threshold parameter set (Th i ) comprising at least a minimum size limit (S i ) associated with the first predefined traffic class (i), measuring an amount of data (D i ) that the user equipment has ready to tr…
