ABSTRACT:
A component in a telecommunications network including a processor configured, responsive to receiving a scheduling request from a user equipment (UE), to grant a minimum level of resource capacity to the UE for an uplink transmission from the UE to the component. The processor further configured to determine the minimum level of resource capacity based on an expected data packet payload and on a condition of a communications channel between the component and the UE.
