Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, device and computer readable storage media for optimizing buffer state report (BSR) for limited traffic mix. In example embodiments, whether a short or long BSR being reported is up to the configuration of LCG or the configuration of LCH within the LCG. In this way, minimum overhead for low bit rate services can be kept and thus a good coverage can be achieved, while the reporting information can be increased for other traffic.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- in response to detecting, at a terminal device, that a buffer state report, BSR, is to be triggered, determining whether data buffered at the terminal device and available for transmission is included in a single logical channel group, LCG, the BSR indicating an amount of the data;
- and
- in response to determining that the data is included in a single LCG, determining a format of the BSR based on:
- determining a transport block size allocated for the amount of the data, a configuration of the LCG, and a comparison between the transport block size with a predefined first transport block size threshold;
- or
- determining whether the data is included in a single logical channel, LCH, or a plurality of LCHs within the LCG, determining the format of the BSR based on a configuration of the LCH in response to the determination that the data is included in the single LCH within the LCG, and determining the format of the BSR based on the configuration of the LCH that has a highest priority among a plurality of LCHs in response to determining that the data is included in the plurality of LCHs within the LCG.

A device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the device to:
- in response to detecting, at a terminal device, that a buffer state report, BSR, is to be triggered, determine that data buffered at the terminal device and available for transmission is included in a single logical channel group, LCG, the BSR indicating an amount of the data;
- and
- in response to determining that the data is included in a single LCG, determine a format of the BSR based on:
- determining a transport block size allocated for the amount of data, a configuration of the LCG, and a comparison of the transport block size with a predefined first transport block size threshold;
- or
- determining that the data is included in a single logical channel, LCH, or a plurality of LCHs within the LCG, determining the format of the BSR based on a configuration of the LCH in response to the determination that the data is included in the single LCH within the LCG, and determining the format of the BSR based on the configuration of the LCH that has a highest priority among a plurality of LCHs in response to determining that the data is included in the plurality of LCHs within the LCG.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program thereon, the computer program, when executed by a processor, causing a device to:
- in response to detecting, at a terminal device, that a buffer state report, BSR, is to be triggered, determine whether data buffered at the terminal device and available for transmission is included in a single logical channel group, LCG, the BSR indicating an amount of the data;
- and
- in response to determining that the data is included in a single LCG, determine a format of the BSR based on:
- determining a transport block size allocated for the amount of data, a configuration of the LCG, and a comparison of the transport block size with a predefined first transport block size threshold;
- or
- determining whether the data is included in a single logical channel, LCH, or a plurality of LCHs within the LCG, determining the format of the BSR based on a configuration of the LCH in response to the determination that the data is included in the single LCH within the LCG, and determining the format of the BSR based on the configuration of the LCH that has a highest priority among a plurality of LCHs in response to determining that the data is included in the plurality of LCHs within the LCG.
