Abstract

A method for transmitting a truncated Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) report by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method includes triggering transmissions of one or more MAC CEs; receiving an uplink grant from a network; based on the uplink grant not accommodating the one or more MAC CEs, generating a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU) including a truncated MAC CE report; transmitting the MAC PDU to the network, wherein the truncated MAC CE report includes information related to at least one MAC CE which is triggered but not included or partially included in the MAC PDU among the one or more MAC CEs.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
triggering transmissions of a plurality of Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Elements (CEs);
receiving an uplink grant from a network;
based on the uplink grant not accommodating the plurality of MAC CEs, generating a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU) including a truncated MAC CE report and one or more of the plurality of MAC CEs;
transmitting the MAC PDU to the network,
wherein the truncated MAC CE report indicates that at least one MAC CE which is triggered but not included or partially included in the MAC PDU among the plurality of MAC CEs.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the truncated MAC CE report includes a bitmap field in which bits indicate the plurality of MAC CEs, and
wherein at least one bit corresponding to the at least one MAC CE has a value of 1.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the truncated MAC CE report includes at least one Logical Channel Identifier (LCID) value or at least one extended Logical Channel Identifier (eLCID) value indicating the at least one MAC CE.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAC PDU is generated by prioritizing the truncated MAC CE report with a highest priority in a logical channel prioritization (LCP) procedure.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one MAC CE comprises a Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) failure related MAC CE or a Beam Failure Recovery (BFR) related MAC CE.

6. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
at least one transceiver;
at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
triggering transmissions of a plurality of Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Elements (CEs);
receiving an uplink grant from a network;
based on the uplink grant not accommodating the plurality of MAC CEs, generating a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU) including a truncated MAC CE report and one or more of the plurality of MAC CEs;
transmitting the MAC PDU to the network,
wherein the truncated MAC CE report indicates that at least one MAC CE which is triggered but not included or partially included in the MAC PDU among the plurality of MAC CEs.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the truncated MAC CE report includes a bitmap field in which bits indicate the plurality of MAC CEs, and
wherein at least one bit corresponding to the at least one MAC CE has a value of 1.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the truncated MAC CE report includes at least one Logical Channel Identifier (LCID) value or at least one extended Logical Channel Identifier (eLCID) value indicating the at least one MAC CE.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the MAC PDU is generated by prioritizing the truncated MAC CE report with a highest priority in a logical channel prioritization (LCP) procedure.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the at least one MAC CE comprises a Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) failure related MAC CE or a Beam Failure Recovery (BFR) related MAC CE.
