Abstract
A method for uplink scheduling over a communication channel in a communication network including at least one UE and an eNodeB, is described. The method comprises determining whether the UE is associated with at least one of Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) bearers and non-Guaranteed Bit Rate (non-GBR) bearers. Based on the determining, for each of the GBR-bearers and the non-GBR-bearers, computing a demand for resources for establishing an uplink communication, wherein the demand is computed based physical layer characteristics and transport layer characteristics associated with the communication channel. The demand computed is communicated as a request message to the eNodeB. In response to the request message, receiving an allocation of the resources for uplink scheduling from the eNodeB.
