and determining a second priority level for the additional data based at least in part on a logical channel for the additional data, or a data type associated with the additional data, or a combination thereof, wherein transmitting the SR is based at least in part on the priority level being greater than the second priority level. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the SR includes an indication of a buffer status for the data to be transmitted to the base station. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, from the base station, a mapping that indicates a correspondence between values for the SR and priority levels for multiple logical channels. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: identifying a target numerology for the data to be transmitted to the base station, wherein the SR indicates the target numerology. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, further comprising: selecting an SR configuration for transmission of the SR based at least in part on the target numerology. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the SR is transmitted over a dedicated set of resources. ### Claim 18 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;
