Transmitting delay information for extended reality (xr)

A method of wireless communications by a network entity, the method comprising:

• transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a configuration indicating one or more channels and associated parameters for an uplink transmission;
• receiving delay information from the UE regarding the uplink transmission, the delay information associated with a remaining time associated with an amount of data having a delivery deadline in a buffer of the UE, the remaining time being a remaining time to the delivery deadline of the data;
• and
• transmitting, to the UE, an uplink grant based on the delay information and the delivery deadline for the transmission of the amount of data in the buffer of the UE.

An apparatus for wireless communication comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
• receive an uplink grant from a network entity;
• and
• transmit, to the network entity in response to the uplink grant, delay information including a remaining time associated with an amount of data having a delivery deadline in a buffer of the apparatus, the remaining time being a remaining time to the delivery deadline of the data.
