Scheduling request transmission to request resources for a buffer status report

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving a directional synchronization subframe from a base station;
• means for identifying a time period for transmitting a scheduling request to the base station, wherein the time period for transmitting the scheduling request is based at least in part on the directional synchronization subframe;
• and
• means for transmitting the scheduling request to the base station during the time period.

An apparatus for wireless communication, in a system comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• receive a directional synchronization subframe from a base station;
• identify a time period for transmitting a scheduling request to the base station, wherein the time period for transmitting the scheduling request is based at least in part on the directional synchronization subframe;
• and
• transmit the scheduling request to the base station during the time period.

An apparatus for wireless communication, in a system comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit a directional synchronization subframe to a user equipment (UE);
• and
• receive a scheduling request from the UE during a time period selected by the UE based at least in part on the directional synchronization subframe.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing code for wireless communication, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• receive a directional synchronization subframe from a base station;
• identify a time period for transmitting a scheduling request to the base station, wherein the time period for transmitting the scheduling request is based at least in part on the directional synchronization subframe;
• and
• transmit the scheduling request to the base station during the time period.
