The present application relates to improved user equipment (UE) behaviors in instances of buffer status reports (BSRs) or other Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Elements (CE)s being triggered by particular events, such as packet discarding or long packet queuing delay times. In some cases, a UE may avoid unnecessary scheduling request (SR) signaling, e.g., if there is already a pending SR, the UE may cancel the SR if the data in the buffer is no longer available because of packet discarding. In other cases, if there is already a pending SR, the UE may signal the pending SR as soon as possible to a base station and provide a buffer status update. When a BSR is triggered by long packet queueing delay and there is already a pending SR, the UE may also want to signal the pending SR as soon as possible to provide packet queueing delay time information.
