Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a relay device may receive, from a first user equipment (UE) on a sidelink channel, a buffer status report. Accordingly, the relay device may receive, from a base station, a grant of an uplink resource based at least in part on determining a priority of data associated with the buffer status report. Additionally, the relay device may transmit, to the base station, the buffer status report based at least in part on receiving the grant of the uplink resource. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims30
A first user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
- transmit an uplink request based at least in part on a priority of data, wherein a priority of a logical channel in the uplink request indicates the priority of the data associated with the uplink request, and wherein the uplink request includes at least one of a scheduling request, control information, or a combination thereof;
- receive a grant of a sidelink resource based at least in part on transmitting the uplink request;
- and
- transmit, to a relay device on a sidelink channel, a buffer status report associated with the data based at least in part on receiving the grant of the sidelink resource.
A relay device for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
- receive, from a first user equipment (UE) on a sidelink channel, a buffer status report;
- transmit, to a network entity, a scheduling request for a grant of an uplink resource based at least in part on determining a priority of data associated with the buffer status report, the priority of the data being based at least in part on a priority of a logical channel in the buffer status report;
- and
- transmit, to the network entity, the buffer status report based at least in part on receiving the grant of the uplink resource.
A network entity for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
- receive an uplink request, wherein a priority of a logical channel in the uplink request indicates a priority of data associated with the uplink request, and wherein the uplink request includes at least one of a scheduling request, control information, or a combination thereof;
- transmit a grant of a sidelink resource based at least in part on the priority of the data associated with the uplink request;
- and
- receive, from a relay device, a buffer status report associated with a first user equipment (UE), based at least in part on transmitting the grant of the sidelink resource, the buffer status report being associated with the data.
A method of wireless communication performed by a relay device, comprising:
- receiving, from a first user equipment (UE) on a sidelink channel, a buffer status report;
- transmitting, to a network entity, a scheduling request for a grant of an uplink resource based at least in part on determining a priority of data associated with the buffer status report, the priority of the data being based at least in part on a priority of a logical channel in the buffer status report;
- and
- transmitting, to the network entity, the buffer status report based at least in part on receiving the grant of the uplink resource.
