Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine that uplink data associated with a first quality of service flow is available for transmission to a base station. The UE may transmit a buffer status report to the base station. In some examples, the buffer status report may include a buffer status of the first quality of service flow. The UE may then receive an uplink grant based on transmitting the buffer status report, and may transmit the uplink data based on the uplink grant.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting, to a network device, a buffer status report comprising a buffer status of a first quality of service flow associated with a first logical channel priority, wherein the transmitting is based at least in part on uplink data associated with the first quality of service flow being available for transmission to the network device and a difference between the first quality of service flow and a second quality of service flow associated with a second logical channel priority;
- receiving, from the network device, an uplink grant based at least in part on transmitting the buffer status report;
- and
- transmitting the uplink data based at least in part on the uplink grant.
A method for wireless communication at a network device, comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a buffer status report comprising a buffer status of a first quality of service flow associated with a first logical channel priority, wherein the receiving is based at least in part on uplink data associated with the first quality of service flow being available for transmission at the UE and a difference between the first quality of service flow and a second quality of service flow associated with a second logical channel priority;
- transmitting, to the UE, an uplink grant based at least in part on receiving the buffer status report;
- and
- receiving the uplink data based at least in part on the uplink grant.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a processor,
- memory coupled with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
- transmit, to a network device, a buffer status report comprising a buffer status of a first quality of service flow associated with a first logical channel priority, wherein the transmitting is based at least in part on uplink data associated with the first quality of service flow being available for transmission to the network device and a difference between the first quality of service flow and a second quality of service flow associated with a second logical channel priority;
- receive, from the network device, an uplink grant based at least in part on transmitting the buffer status report;
- and
- transmit the uplink data based at least in part on the uplink grant.
