Method and system of unified buffer and delay status reporting for uplink scheduling in 5g nr

A system for integrated single framework Buffer and Delay Status Reporting in wireless network-based communication comprising:

• a user equipment (UE) configured to generate said integrated single framework Buffer and Delay Status Reports (BDSRs) in MAC layer;
• MAC Processor in the UE configured to generate the BDSRs based on triggering logic and implementing adaptive triggering based on anyone or more of (i) regular BDSR trigger, (ii) delay-based trigger, (iii), padding-based trigger, (iv) retransmission-based trigger and (v) periodic trigger;
• timer to support real-time comparisons with remaining time threshold, enabling precise delay-based triggering;
• network node cooperative to said UE for adjustments in buffer management to enable unified reporting across Logical Channel Group (LCG) configured for the BDSRs.
