Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for a single bit or multiple bit scheduling request (SR). The SR may be transmitted by a user equipment (UE) to a base station and may indicate that the UE has data to be transmitted to the base station. The SR may include an indication of the priority level associated with the data to be transmitted to the base station, which may be based on the data type, logical channel, or numerology associated with the data to be transmitted to the base station.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- identifying, at a user equipment (UE), that the UE has data in a buffer to be transmitted to a base station;
- determining a priority level for the data in the buffer to be transmitted to the base station based at least in part on a logical channel for the data, or a data type associated with the data, or a combination thereof;
- and
- transmitting, to the base station, a scheduling request (SR) that indicates the priority level for the data.
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, by a base station, a scheduling request (SR) that indicates a user equipment (UE) has data in a buffer to transmit to the base station, and a priority level for the data;
- determining the priority level of the data based at least in part on the SR;
- identifying resources for transmission of the data based at least in part on the priority level;
- and
- transmitting, to the UE, an uplink grant indicating the identified resources.
An apparatus for wireless communication, 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:
- identify, at a user equipment (UE), that the UE has data in a buffer to be transmitted to a base station;
- determine a priority level for the data in the buffer to be transmitted to the base station based at least in part on a logical channel for the data, or a data type associated with the data, or a combination thereof;
- and
- transmit, to the base station, a scheduling request (SR) that indicates the priority level for the data.
