Resource requests for a wireless communication system

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• determining quality of service (QoS) information for data to send, the QoS information comprising at least one of multiple possible QoS types;
• and
• generating a resource request comprising the QoS information.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for determining quality of service (QoS) information for data to send, the QoS information comprising at least one of multiple possible QoS types;
• and
• means for generating a resource request comprising the QoS information.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to determine at least one type of information to send in a resource request, to determine a format to use for the resource request from among multiple formats based on the at least one type of information to send, and to generate the resource request comprising the at least one type of information in the determined format;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to determine quality of service (QoS) class information or latency deadline information for data to send, to determine backlog level information for the data to send, and to generate a resource request comprising the backlog level information in a first field and the QoS class information or the latency deadline information in a second field;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to determine backlog level information based on amount of data to send and spectral efficiency, and to generate a resource request comprising the backlog level information;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor.

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• determining backlog level information based on amount of data to send and spectral efficiency;
• and
• generating a resource request comprising the backlog level information.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to send a first control message, to select a first pseudo-random value within a window, to set a backoff timer to the first pseudo-random value upon sending the first control message, and to determine whether to send a second control message based on the backoff timer;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor.
