1. A method in a user equipment for handling a scheduling request, the method comprising:
triggering a scheduling request in response to new data becoming available to be transmitted to a base station, which scheduling request will remain pending until it is cancelled; and
cancelling the pending scheduling request in response to pending uplink data, including the new data that triggered the transmission of the scheduling request, being accounted for in any one of the following two ways:
a Medium Access Control (MAC) Packet Data Unit (PDU) is transmitted to the base station, said PDU including a buffer status report which contains buffer status up to and including the last event that triggered a buffer status report; and
an uplink grant has been received which can accommodate all the pending uplink data available for transmission.
