Buffer status report transmissions

A network node for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the network node to:
• receive one or more parameters of a plurality of parameters associated with a buffer status report table, the plurality of parameters including a maximum buffer size associated with the buffer status report table, a minimum buffer size associated with the buffer status report table, a quantity of code points associated with the buffer status report table, a step size associated with the buffer status report table, and a type of distribution associated with the buffer status report table;
• calculate a buffer size for one or more code points of the quantity of code points associated with the buffer status report table;
• and
• receive a buffer status report in accordance with the one or more parameters and the buffer size for the one or more code points.

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• transmitting one or more parameters of a plurality of parameters associated with a buffer status report table, the plurality of parameters including a maximum buffer size associated with the buffer status report table, a minimum buffer size associated with the buffer status report table, a quantity of code points associated with the buffer status report table, a step size associated with the buffer status report table, and a type of distribution associated with the buffer status report table;
• encoding a buffer size by one or more code points of the quantity of code points associated with the buffer status report table;
• and
• transmitting a buffer status report in accordance with the one or more parameters and the buffer size for the one or more code points.
