Abstract

The disclosure relates a method comprising: determining that buffered data is available for transmission and cannot be transmitted over allocated resources; and causing information indicating that buffered data is available for transmission and cannot be transmitted over allocated resources to be transmitted over the allocated resources.

Claims (11)

1. A method comprising:

determining, based on a logical channel prioritization function, processing limitations or power limitations indicated by a user equipment, that buffered data is available for transmission and cannot be transmitted over allocated resources; and

causing information indicating that buffered data is available for transmission and cannot be transmitted over allocated resources to be transmitted over the allocated resources.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information includes a buffer status report.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the buffered data is associated with a logical channel.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the logical channel prioritization function is configured with at least one logical channel mapping restriction on a type of allocated resources.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the determining is based on a type of the allocated resources.

6. A computer program embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer program comprising program code for controlling a process to execute a process, the process comprising the steps of the method of claim 1 .

7. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including a computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:

determine, based on a logical channel prioritization function, processing limitations or power limitations indicated by a user equipment, that buffered data is available for transmission and cannot be transmitted over allocated resources; and

cause information indicating that buffered data is available for transmission and cannot be transmitted over allocated resources to be transmitted over the allocated resources.
