Abstract

A User Equipment has an uplink buffer for storing uplink data to be sent to a base station in an uplink grant procedure and is configured with a DTX (Discontinuous Transmission) pattern which allows it to skip the transmission of uplink padding transmissions when there is a grant but no uplink data in the uplink buffer during ‘off’ periods.
