Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE). The UE may generate a delay status report (DSR) for at least two traffic flows on different logical channels. The at least two traffic flows have a maximum synchronization threshold between each other. The DSR may include at least one remaining delay budget (RDB) parameter related to an RDB of at least one of a first traffic flow or a second traffic flow and the maximum synchronization threshold. The UE may transmit the DSR.
