Based on the latest agreement, a SR will need to reflect TTI and/or numerology information of the uplink logical channel which triggers the SR. The main purpose of such agreement is to accelerate uplink resource request and to avoid resource waste caused by TTI/numerology configuration of logical channels. How to reflect TTI and/or numerology information will need further study. Potential methods are discussed below.
Method 1—Network provides multiple SR configurations to UE. Different SR configurations may contain different radio resources in frequency domain, time domain, and/or code domain and each SR configuration is linked to TTI/numerology information. The linking could be established based on implicit association (e.g., a numerology used for SR transmission according to a SR configuration is linked to requesting the resource on the numerology) and/or explicit association (e.g., TTI/numerology information is included in each SR configuration). The TTI/numerology information could be one or multiple following candidates:
