DUAL STRATEGY FOR SHORT PHYSICAL UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL (SPUCCH) UTILIZATION

摘要

A wireless device (e.g., UE) and a method implemented by the wireless device are described herein where the wireless device is configured with resources for both Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and short PUCCH (sPUCCH), and determines whether or not the sPUCCH performance is equal to the PUCCH performance, and based on a result of the determination applies a strategy for determining when to trigger a fallback where the strategy is based on a number of failed Scheduling Request (SR) transmissions to a wireless access node (e.g., eNB, eNodeB, ng-eNB, gNB). A wireless access node and method implemented by the wireless access node are also described herein.
