LTE Allocations explained - 2

UL allocation example


HH HH     UL data at PDCP-RLC buffer No current TB No current UL allocation/transmission
BSR triggered [36.321:5.4.5,5.4.4]
MAC makes a scheduling request to PHY
PHY sends SR (UCI 1, PUCCH) →
PHY listening on PDCCH ςς
receives UL allocation (DCI 0, PDCCH) ←
MAC informs "transmission opportunity" to RLC.
Pending SRs = 0.
RLC prepares its PDU(s)
MAC prepares transport block with BSR control element, cancels BSR, starts retxBSR timer.
PHY sends TB (PUSCH) →
PHY listening on PDCCH ςς

 case a) 

retxBSR expires.
If there is data to be sent, BSR would be triggered, MAC would make a scheduling request to PHY
PHY sends SR (UCI 1, PUCCH) →

 case b) 

PHY receives UL allocation (DCI 0, PDCCH) ←
MAC restarts retxBSR timer and informs transmission opportunity to RLC
RLC prepares PDUs BSR may be triggered
MAC prepares transport block - if BSR is pending, BSR control element would be included outgoing TB, BSR would be cancelled and retxBSR timer would be started.
PHY sends TB (PUSCH) →
