Abstract
Some embodiments related to a method for proactive allocation of uplink transmission resources to a wireless device, wherein the wireless device transmits periodic uplink data traffic. The method is performed in a radio access node in a wireless communication system. The method includes estimating a transmission phase for the periodic uplink data traffic by, for two or more transmission periods, adjusting the timing of an uplink transmission resource allocation for the wireless device in a subsequent transmission period depending on whether an uplink transmission resource allocated in a previous transmission period was used by the wireless device or not. The method further includes proactively allocating uplink transmission resources to the wireless device, such that the timing of the proactively allocated resources matches the estimated transmission phase.
