User equipment procedure for buffer status report

A method at a wireless communication device, comprising:

• obtaining a decision-point value, wherein the decision-point value is based on a respective value assigned to a peak power envelope of the wireless communication device;
• sending, for a logical channel group having a quantity of data pending an uplink transmission, a long buffer status report in response to the decision-point value exceeding a threshold value;
• and
• sending, for the logical channel group, a short buffer status report in response to the decision-point value being equal to or less than the threshold value.

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• means for obtaining a decision-point value, wherein the decision-point value is based on a respective value assigned to a peak power envelope of the wireless communication device;
• means for sending, for a logical channel group having a quantity of data pending an uplink transmission, a long buffer status report in response to the decision-point value exceeding a threshold value;
• and
• means for sending, for the logical channel group, a short buffer status report in response to the decision-point value being equal to or less than the threshold value.
