Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for triggering a buffer status reporting in wireless communication system, the method comprising: configuring with a first SR resource configuration and a second SR resource configuration; checking whether or not data is a first data on logical channels mapped to the first SR resource configuration, when the data becomes available for a first logical channel mapped to the first SR resource configuration, in a state that the first logical channel has a lower priority than a highest priority among priorities of logical channels having data, which are mapped to the second SR resource configuration; and triggering a first BSR if the data is the first data on logical channels mapped to the first SR resource configuration.

Claims (28)

1. A method for a User Equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

configuring a first Schedule Request (SR) resource configuration and a second SR resource configuration;

checking whether data is first data on logical channels mapped to the first SR resource configuration, when the data becomes available for a first logical channel mapped to the first SR resource configuration, wherein the first logical channel has a lower priority than a highest priority among priorities of logical channels having data, which are mapped to the second SR resource configuration; and

triggering a first buffer status reporting (BSR) based on the data being the first data on logical channels mapped to the first SR resource configuration,

triggering a SR for the first SR configuration based on there being no available UL resource for transmitting the first BSR; and

transmitting the SR to a network,

wherein the UE doesn't trigger a second BSR based on there being a pending SR on the first SR resource configuration, when second data becomes available for a second logical channel mapped to the first SR resource configuration,

wherein the second data becomes available for the second logical channel after the data becomes available for the first logical channel.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting the first BSR to the network based on there being available an UL resource for transmitting the first BSR.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

triggering the second BSR when the second data becomes available for the second logical channel mapped to the first SR resource configuration, based on the second logical channel having a higher priority than the priority of the first logical channel.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE is capable of communicating with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station and a network.

5. A User Equipment (UE) for operating in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

transmitter and a receiver; and

a processor operably coupled with the transmitter and receiver and configured to:

configure a first Schedule Request (SR) resource configuration and a second SR resource configuration,

check whether data is first data on logical channels mapped to the first SR resource configuration, when the data becomes available for a first logical channel mapped to the first SR resource configuration, wherein the first logical channel has a lower priority than a highest priority among priorities of logical channels having data, which are mapped to the second SR resource configuration, and

trigger a first buffer status reporting (BSR) based on the data being the first data on logical channels mapped to the first SR resource configuration,

trigger a SR for the first SR for the first SR configuration based on there being no available UL resource for transmitting the first BSR, and

transmit the SR to a network,

wherein the UE doesn't trigger a second BSR based on there being a pending SR on the first SR resource configuration, when second data becomes available for a second logical channel mapped to the first SR resource configuration,

wherein the second data becomes available for the second logical channel after the data becomes available for the first logical channel.

6. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

transmit the first BSR to the network based on there being available an UL resource for transmitting the first BSR.

7. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

trigger the second BSR when the second data becomes available for the second logical channel mapped to the first SR resource configuration, based on the second logical channel having a higher priority than the priority of the first logical channel.

8. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the UE is capable of communicating with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station and a network.
