Techniques for deadline-aware scheduling

A method for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• receiving, from a user equipment (UE), an indication of packet expiration information associated with a plurality of data packets generated by the UE, wherein the packet expiration information is based at least in part on a plurality of packet expiration times associated with the plurality of data packets;
• transmitting, to the UE, scheduling information associated with at least a subset of the plurality of data packets, wherein the scheduling information is based at least in part on the packet expiration information;
• and
• receiving at least one data packet of the subset of the plurality of data packets from the UE in accordance with the scheduling information.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled with the processor, with instructions in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• generate a plurality of data packets that are to be transmitted to a base station, wherein each data packet of the plurality of data packets is associated with a respective packet expiration time;
• transmit, to the base station, an indication of packet expiration information associated with the plurality of data packets, wherein the packet expiration information is based at least in part on a plurality of packet expiration times associated with the plurality of data packets;
• receive, from the base station, scheduling information associated with at least a subset of the plurality of data packets, wherein the scheduling information is based at least in part on the packet expiration information;
• and
• transmit at least one data packet of the subset of the plurality of data packets to the base station in accordance with the scheduling information.
