Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE) configured with uplink (UL) spatial multiplexing and UL skipping, the UE receives, from a base station, two UL grants for a Transmission Time Interval (TTI). The UE generates two Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Units (PDUs) for the TTI, wherein a first MAC PDU of the two MAC PDUs is able to accommodate all available data of the UE. The UE transmits the two MAC PDUs to the base station.
Claims20
A method of a base station, the method comprising:
- receiving two Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Units (PDUs) from a User Equipment (UE), wherein a first MAC PDU of the two MAC PDUs is able to accommodate available data of the UE.
A method of a base station, the method comprising:
- receiving two Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Units (PDUs) from a User Equipment (UE), wherein:
- a first MAC PDU of the two MAC PDUs merely comprises a first MAC Control Element (CE), for a first padding Buffer Status Report (BSR) or for a first periodic BSR, with zero MAC Service Data Units (SDUs);
- and
- a second MAC PDU of the two MAC PDUs comprises at least one of available data of the UE or a MAC SDU.
A base station, the base station comprising:
- a control circuit;
- a processor installed in the control circuit;
- and
- a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving two Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Units (PDUs) from a User Equipment (UE), wherein a first MAC PDU of the two MAC PDUs is able to accommodate available data of the UE.
