    摘要: Herein provided is a method for operating a base station of a cellular network. The base station serves user equipment camping thereon, or connected thereto, and agrees with the user equipment to a periodic dedicated prescheduled uplink transmission schedule. Upon determining that an uplink occasion of that schedule is missed by the user equipment, the user equipment is considered as unavailable for communicating at said uplink occasion in relation with the base station. If it is considered unavailable, it instead maintains a presently active dedicated prescheduled uplink transmission schedule. Otherwise it cancels the presently active dedicated prescheduled uplink transmission schedule. Other embodiments are disclosed.
