TECHNIQUES FOR A LEARNING-BASED SCHEDULER

1 . A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one memory; and

at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:

receive a configuration for capturing uplink status information, the uplink status information comprising buffer status information, delay status information, or a combination thereof;

capture the uplink status information according to the configuration; and

report the uplink status information to a learning-based scheduler.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

the delay status information indicates a delay associated with data indicated by the buffer status information.

3 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

the delay status information comprises a remaining delay associated with a data unit, wherein the remaining delay is determined based on a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) timer.

4 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

the buffer status information comprises at least one data volume associated with a logical channel group (LCG), wherein the data volume corresponds to a total amount of data available for transmission for the LCG.

5 . The UE of claim 4 wherein:

the delay status information comprises a total amount of delay-critical data for the LCG.

6 . The UE of claim 4 , wherein:

the delay status information comprises a total amount of data for the LCG for which a corresponding remaining delay is within a predetermined delay range.

7 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

the uplink status information comprises uplink power information, wherein the uplink power information is power headroom information.

8 . The UE of claim 7 , wherein:

the power headroom information comprises virtual power headroom information.

9 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

the uplink status information comprises uplink grant information or uplink resource allocation information for previous uplink transmissions.

10 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein:

the uplink grant information or uplink resource allocation information comprises information for received or executed uplink grants or uplink resource allocations since a last report of uplink status information.

11 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein:

the uplink grant information comprises transport block size information associated with a corresponding uplink grant.

12 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

the at least one processor is configured cause the UE to store the captured uplink status information based on a received radio resource control (RRC) configuration.

13 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein:

the RRC configuration indicates for which logical channel or logical channel group the uplink status information should be stored.

14 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

the at least one processor is configured cause the UE to report the uplink status information in response to receiving a request to report the uplink status information.

15 . The UE of claim 14 , wherein:

the request is received as a field in a downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling an uplink transmission.

16 . The UE of claim 15 , wherein:

the at least one processor is configured cause the UE to create a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) comprising the uplink status information and transmit the MAC CE on an uplink resource allocated by the DCI.

17 . A processor for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:

receive a configuration for capturing uplink status information, the uplink status information comprising buffer status information, delay status information, or a combination thereof;

capture the uplink status information according to the configuration; and

report the uplink status information to a learning-based scheduler.

18 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving a configuration for capturing uplink status information, the uplink status information comprising buffer status information, delay status information, or a combination thereof;

capturing the uplink status information according to the configuration; and

reporting the uplink status information to a learning-based scheduler.

19 . A network entity for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one memory; and

at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the network entity to:

transmit a configuration for capturing uplink status information at a user equipment (UE), the uplink status information comprising buffer status information, delay status information, or a combination thereof;

receive the uplink status information from the UE; and

train a learning-based scheduler based on the uplink status information.

20 . The network entity of claim 19 , wherein:

the at least one processor is configured cause the network entity to transmit a request for the uplink status information.
