Abstract
A method for reporting buffer status is proposed. The method which may be performed by a radio device includes detecting a trigger event of reporting buffer status of a logical channel group for the radio device to a network node. The method may further include triggering a buffer status report indicating the buffer status of the logical channel group, in response to the detected trigger event. The buffer status report may be allowed not to indicate buffer status of one or more other logical channel groups for the radio device, for which logical channel groups no event occurs to trigger reporting of buffer status.
Claims25
A method performed by a radio device, comprising:
- detecting a trigger event of reporting buffer status of a logical channel group for the radio device to a network node;
- and
- triggering a buffer status report indicating the buffer status of the logical channel group, in response to the detected trigger event, wherein the buffer status report is allowed not to indicate buffer status of one or more other logical channel groups for the radio device, for which logical channel groups no event occurs to trigger reporting of buffer status.
7-11. (canceled)
14-27. (canceled)
A network node, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories comprising computer program codes,
- the one or more memories and the computer program codes configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the network node at least to:
- receive, from a radio device, a buffer status report being triggered for a logical channel group for the radio device, wherein the buffer status report indicates buffer status of the logical channel group;
- and
- update a buffer status record of the logical channel group for the radio device at the network node, based at least in part on the buffer status report, wherein the buffer status report is allowed not to indicate buffer status of one or more other logical channel groups for the radio device, for which logical channel groups no event occurs to trigger reporting of buffer status.
29-30. (canceled)
A radio device, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories comprising computer program codes,
- the one or more memories and the computer program codes configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the radio device at least to:
- detect a trigger event of reporting buffer status of a logical channel group for the radio device to a network node;
- and
- trigger a buffer status report indicating the buffer status of the logical channel group, in response to the detected trigger event, wherein the buffer status report is allowed not to indicate buffer status of one or more other logical channel groups for the radio device, for which logical channel groups no event occurs to trigger reporting of buffer status.
