Units based on time information by UE group in wireless communication system

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one computer memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the UE to perform operations comprising:
• based on a data unit becoming for a transmission, transmitting, to a network, a resource request message;
• receiving, from the network, an uplink grant for transmitting the data unit, wherein the uplink grant is received with information related to a time duration within which the data unit becomes for the transmission in a UE group to which the UE belongs;
• and
• based on a time when the data unit becomes for the transmission on the UE being outside of the time duration, transmitting, to the network, the data unit according to the uplink grant with information related to the time when the data unit becomes for the transmission on the UE,
• wherein, based on the time when the data unit becomes for the transmission on the UE being within the time duration, the data unit is discarded.

An apparatus for a User Equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one computer memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the UE to perform operations comprising:
• based on a data unit becoming for a transmission, transmitting, to a network, a resource request message;
• receiving, from the network, an uplink grant for transmitting the data unit, wherein the uplink grant is received with information related to a time duration within which the data unit becomes for the transmission in a UE group to which the UE belongs;
• and
• based on a time when the data unit becomes for the transmission on the UE being outside of the time duration, transmitting, to the network, the data unit according to the uplink grant with information related to the time when the data unit becomes for the transmission on the UE,
• wherein, based on the time when the data unit becomes for the transmission on the UE being within the time duration, the data unit is discarded.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a User Equipment (UE) to perform operations comprising:

• based on a data unit becoming for a transmission, transmitting, to a network, a resource request message;
• receiving, from the network, an uplink grant for transmitting the data unit, wherein the uplink grant is received with information related to a time duration within which the data unit becomes for the transmission in a UE group to which the UE belongs;
• and
• based on a time when the data unit becomes for the transmission on the UE being outside of the time duration, transmitting, to the network, the data unit according to the uplink grant with information related to the time when the data unit becomes for the transmission on the UE,
• wherein, based on the time when the data unit becomes for the transmission on the UE being within the time duration, the data unit is discarded.
