Abstract
In embodiments a user equipment (UE) may transmit to an evolved Node B (eNB) a background indicator that the UE is in a background mode running one or more background applications and no active applications. The eNB may receive background indicators from a plurality of UEs and may bundle the background-mode UEs into one scheduling request (SR) allocation block. The individual UEs may be assigned different resource elements within the block on which to transmit an SR indicator (e.g. if the UE has data to send to the eNB). The eNB may lengthen the period between SR allocations for the background-mode UEs compared with active-mode UEs. In some embodiments the UE may exclusively use the assigned SR allocation instead of a random access channel to notify the eNB that the UE has data to send.

Claim
1. An apparatus for managing scheduling request allocations comprising:', 'a communications module configured to communicate with a plurality of user equipments (UEs) over a wireless communication network; and', 'a scheduling module coupled with the communications module and configured to: receive, from a first set of UEs of the plurality of UEs, an indicator that the first set of UEs are in a background mode running one or more background applications and no active applications; and', 'assign a scheduling request (SR) allocation to individual UEs of the first set of UEs, the SR allocations of the individual UEs including resource elements in a common resource block of a channel.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the scheduling module is further configured to notify the individual UEs of their respective SR allocations.
3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the scheduling module is configured to notify the individual UEs of their respective SR allocations via a radio resource control (RRC) control message.
4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a periodicity of the assigned SR allocations for the UEs of the first set is longer than a periodicity for active mode UEs communicating with the communications module over the wireless communication network.
5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first set includes up to eighteen UEs.
6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the indicators are received via medium access control (MAC) messages.
7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first set of UEs are in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state.
8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the scheduling module is further configured to receive another indicator from one or more UEs to indicate that the one or more UEs are no longer in the background mode.
9. The apparatus of any of claims 1 through 8, wherein the scheduling module is further configured to instruct the UE to use the assigned SR allocation instead of a random access channel to indicate that the UE has data to send to the apparatus
10. A communications apparatus comprising:', 'a communications module configured to communicate with an evolved Node B (eNB) over a wireless communication network; and an applications module coupled with the communications module and configured to transmit, to the eNB, an indicator that the apparatus is in a background mode running one or more background applications and no active applications
11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the applications module is further configured to receive a message from the eNB updating a scheduling request (SR) allocation assigned to the apparatus, wherein a resource element of the assigned SR allocation for the apparatus is included in a resource block of a channel designated for SR allocations of apparatuses in the background mode
12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the applications module is further configured to transmit an SR indicator to the eNB in the resource element of the assigned SR allocation to indicate that the apparatus has data to send to the eNB for one or more of the background applications
13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the assigned SR allocation includes an associated periodicity that is longer than SR-allocation periodicities of apparatuses of the wireless communication network that are in an active mode
14. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the applications module is configured to exclusively use the assigned SR allocation for notifying the eNB that the apparatus has data to send to the eNB
15. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the applications module is further configured to transmit another indicator to the eNB to indicate that the apparatus is no longer in the background mode
16. The apparatus of any of claims 10 through 15, wherein the apparatus is a user equipment
17. A method for managing scheduling request allocations comprising:', 'receiving, by an evolved Node B (eNB) from a plurality of user equipments (UEs), an indicator that the plurality of UEs are in a background mode;', 'designating one or more resource blocks of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for scheduling requests (SRs) from UEs that are in the background mode; and assigning an SR allocation in the one or more designated resource blocks to individual UEs of the plurality of UEs
18. The method of claim 17, wherein the SR allocation identifies a resource element of the one or more designated resource blocks and a periodicity for individual UEs to use for sending SR indicators to the eNB
19. The method of claim 18, wherein the periodicity is longer than a periodicity for active mode UEs communicating with the eNB.
20. The method of any of claims 17 through 19, wherein the UEs in the background mode are running one or more background applications and no active applications.']
