Abstract
A network node of a telecommunications system comprises processor circuitry and interface circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to generate a delay status report (DSR) medium access control (MAC) control element (CE). In the DSR MAC CE, for a zone of a logical channel group (LCG) corresponding to an entity which has only data not associated with a remaining time, a remining time (RT) field for the zone is set to a predefined value. The interface circuitry is configured to transmit the delay status report with the MAC CE over a radio interface to another node.
Claims13
A node of a wireless communications system, the node comprising:
- at least one processor, comprising processor circuitry, configured individually and/or collectively to:
- generate a delay status report (DSR) medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) wherein in the DSR MAC CE for a zone of a logical channel group (LCG) corresponding to an entity which has only data not associated with a remaining time, a remining time (RT) field for the zone is set to a predefined value;
- interface circuitry configured to transmit the delay status report with the MAC CE over a radio interface to another node.
A method of operating a node of a communications system, the method comprising:
- using at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, to generate a delay status report (DSR) medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) wherein in the DSR MAC CE for a zone of a logical channel group (LCG) corresponding to an entity which has only data not associated with a remaining time, a remining time (RT) field for the zone is set to a predefined value;
- transmitting the delay status report with the MAC CE over a radio interface to another node.
