1. A method implemented at a terminal device, comprising:
receiving, from a network node, configuration information about capability of the terminal device to schedule uplink data transmission to the network node; and determining whether to schedule, by the terminal device, the uplink data transmission, based at least in part on the configuration information, the configuration information indicating at least one of:
one or more radio resource units available for the uplink data transmission;
one or more configuration schemes applicable to the uplink data transmission; and
a maximum time duration allowed for the uplink data transmission; and
the terminal device is capable of scheduling the uplink data transmission, and the determination of whether to schedule the uplink data transmission by the terminal device based at least in part on the configuration information comprising:
determining whether radio resource granted by the network node is enough to empty uplink data buffered at the terminal device, the granted radio resource being available for the terminal device to transmit uplink data scheduled by the network node; and
determining to schedule the uplink data transmission by the terminal device, in response to the determination that the granted radio resource is not enough to empty the uplink data buffered at the terminal device.
