Abstract

A UE may obtain an estimation of a second SDU based on at least one first SDU with a first arrival time at a modem of the UE, the estimation of the second SDU including a second arrival time at the modem of the UE, the second arrival time being after the first arrival time, and initiate a transmission of a second BSR of the second SDU based on the estimation of the second SDU. The network node may receive at least one BSR indicating at least one target PUSCH from the UE, transmit at least one uplink grant of the at least one target PUSCH based on the at least one BSR indicating the at least one target PUSCH, and receive the second SDU in the at least one target PUSCH.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
obtain an estimation of a second service data unit (SDU) based on at least one first SDU with a first arrival time at a modem of the UE, the estimation of the second SDU comprising a second arrival time at the modem of the UE, the second arrival time being after the first arrival time; and
initiate a transmission of a second buffer status report (BSR) of the second SDU based on the estimation of the second SDU.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the estimation of the second SDU further comprises an estimated size of the second SDU based on a size of the at least one first SDU.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the second BSR is initiated based on no uplink grant being received after the second arrival time and before a subsequent scheduling request (SR) opportunity.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
receive a configuration of at least one dedicated configured grant for transmitting the second BSR of the second SDU based on the estimation of the second SDU.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
obtain a scheduling request (SR) pattern and a first estimation of a delay between an SR associated with the BSR and an uplink grant subsequent to the SR associated with the BSR.

6 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
align the second arrival time based on the SR pattern and the first estimation of the delay.

7 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the SR associated with the BSR is transmitted in an available SR opportunity that is closest and prior to the second arrival time.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the BSR indicates a transmission time of a target physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to transmit the second SDU.

9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
transmit a scheduling request (SR) prior to the second arrival time; and receive an uplink grant based on the SR, wherein the second BSR is transmitted based on the uplink grant prior to the second arrival time.

10 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the transmission time of the target PUSCH is indicated in reference to the transmission of the BSR.

11 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the BSR indicates an estimated size of the second SDU based on the at least one first SDU.

12 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
obtain a fourth estimation of a fourth SDU based on a third SDU with a third arrival time at the modem of the UE, the fourth estimation comprising a fourth arrival time when the fourth SDU is estimated to arrive at the modem of the UE after the third arrival time, and the second SDU being different from the fourth SDU.

13 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the second BSR indicates the second arrival time and the fourth arrival time.

14 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the second BSR further indicates at least one of a second estimated size of the second SDU based on the at least one first SDU or a fourth estimated size of the fourth SDU based on the third SDU.

15 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the second SDU and the fourth SDU are associated with different flows.

16 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
transmit a fourth BSR of the fourth SDU based on the fourth estimation, the fourth BSR being comprised in a second target physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to transmit the second SDU based on the second BSR.

17 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the second BSR indicates a size of the fourth BSR to be comprised in the second target PUSCH.

18 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second BSR is transmitted in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmitting the at least one first SDU.

19 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second BSR of the second SDU is transmitted via an uplink configured grant based on the second SDU not being received at the modem of the UE before the uplink configured grant,
wherein the second SDU is transmitted in a second target physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) indicated by the second BSR.

20 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second BSR of the second SDU comprises an indication of a plurality of target physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs), and wherein the second SDU is transmitted in at least one of the plurality of target PUSCHs.

21 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a network node, comprising:
a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to: receive at least one buffer status report (BSR) indicating at least one target physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) from a user equipment (UE), the at least one BSR comprising a second BSR based on an estimation of a second service data unit (SDU) comprising a second arrival time of the second SDU at a modem of the UE, the estimation of the second SDU being based on at least one first SDU with a first arrival time at the modem of the UE, the second arrival time being after the first arrival time; transmit at least one uplink grant of the at least one target PUSCH based on the at least one BSR indicating the at least one target PUSCH; and receive the second SDU in the at least one target PUSCH.

22 . The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein the estimation of the second SDU further comprises an estimated size of the second SDU based on a size of the at least one first SDU.

23 . The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
transmit a configuration of at least one dedicated configured grant for transmitting the second BSR of the second SDU based on the estimation of the second SDU.

24 . The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein the BSR indicates a transmission time of the at least one target PUSCH to transmit the second SDU.

25 . The apparatus of claim 24 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
receive a scheduling request (SR) prior to the second arrival time; and transmit an uplink grant based on the SR, wherein the second BSR is received based on the uplink grant prior to the second arrival time.

26 . The apparatus of claim 24 , wherein the transmission time of the target PUSCH is indicated in reference to the transmission of the BSR.

27 . The apparatus of claim 24 , wherein the BSR indicates an estimated size of the second SDU based on the at least one first SDU.

28 . The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
