1. A method for a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a request for scheduling assistance from a base station, wherein the request for scheduling assistance comprises a scheduling configuration to be applied to a set of Quality of Service (QOS) flows of a scheduled terminal on an application layer;
informing the scheduled terminal of the scheduling configuration;
receiving scheduling assistance information from the scheduled terminal, wherein the scheduling assistance information is generated by the scheduled terminal based on the set of Qos flows of the scheduled terminal on the application layer, wherein the scheduling assistance information from the scheduled terminal includes a pattern identity, wherein the pattern identity comprises a QoS-FlowIdentity that identifies a first QoS flow of the QoS flows for which the scheduling assistance information applies; and
transmitting the scheduling assistance information including the QoS-FlowIdentity from the scheduled terminal to the base station via a UEAssistanceInformation radio resource control (RRC) message, wherein the scheduling assistance information is included in a traffic information element of the UEAssistanceInformation RRC message, wherein the traffic information element includes burst timing for the first QoS flow from the scheduled terminal.
