Abstract
A pre-scheduling grant transmission method performed by a network node includes issuing a first sequence of pre-scheduling grants to provide a UE with reserved resources for uplink data packet transmission from a send buffer of the UE, collecting data relating to at least transmitted uplink traffic initiated by the first pre-scheduling grants to obtain a data set providing a statistical description of the traffic flow during the time period covered by the first sequence of pre-scheduling grants, predicting from the obtained data set the time when the next data packet arrives to the send buffer of the UE, and transmitting at least one pre-scheduling grant to the UE at a time in the vicinity of the predicted time, thereby providing the UE with timely resources for transmitting the data packet shortly after the packet has arrived at the UE send buffer.
