Abstract

A wireless device transmits, to a base station, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) for delay status reporting (DSR). The MAC CE indicates a shortest remaining time, of one or more remaining times of one or more data units, based on a time associated with transmission of the MAC CE.

Claims (58)

1 . A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more configuration parameters indicating a remaining time threshold value used for triggering a delay status reporting (DSR) for a logical channel group (LCG), associated with an LCG identifier, indicated by a list, wherein the list indicates which one or more LCGs are enabled for the DSR;

trigger the DSR based on a first shortest remaining time, among one or more first remaining times of one or more first data units buffered for a logical channel within the LCG, being less than the remaining time threshold value, wherein each of the one or more first remaining times indicates when to discard a respective data unit of the one or more first data units; and

transmit a DSR medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) indicating a second shortest remaining time, among one or more second remaining times of one or more second data units buffered for the LCG, wherein the second shortest remaining time is based on a timing associated with a transmission of the DSR MAC CE.

2 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to determine:

the first shortest remaining time when triggering the DSR; and

the second shortest remaining time when transmitting the DSR MAC CE.

3 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein:

each of the one or more first data units is a packet data convergence protocol service data unit; and

each of the one or more second data units is a packet data convergence protocol service data unit.

4 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein:

each of the one or more first data units has not been transmitted at a timing of triggering the DSR; and

each of the one or more second data units has not been transmitted at a timing of transmitting the DSR MAC CE.

5 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein a unit of the remaining time threshold value is in millisecond.

6 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the remaining time threshold value is indicated, via a radio resource control parameter, by a DSR configuration that indicates whether the wireless device is enabled to report delay information.

7 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to trigger a scheduling request for the DSR:

after triggering the DSR; and

in response to an uplink shared channel resource not being able to accommodate the DSR MAC CE and a subheader of the DSR MAC CE as a result of logical channel prioritization.

8 . A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

transmit, to a wireless device, one or more configuration parameters indicating a remaining time threshold value used for triggering a delay status reporting (DSR) for a logical channel group (LCG), associated with an LCG identifier, indicated by a list, wherein the list indicates which one or more LCGs are enabled for the DSR;

receive, from the wireless device, a DSR medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) indicating a first shortest remaining time, among one or more first remaining times of one or more first data units buffered for the LCG, wherein the first shortest remaining time is based on a timing associated with a transmission of the DSR MAC CE.

9 . The base station of claim 8 , wherein:

the DSR is triggered, by the wireless device, based on a second shortest remaining time, among one or more second remaining times of one or more second data units buffered for a logical channel within the LCG, being less than the remaining time threshold value; and

each of the one or more second remaining times indicates when to discard a respective data unit of the one or more second data units.

10 . The base station of claim 9 , wherein:

the second shortest remaining time is determined when the DSR is triggered by the wireless device; and

the first shortest remaining time is determined when the DSR MAC CE is transmitted by the wireless device.

11 . The base station of claim 9 , wherein:

each of the one or more first data units is a packet data convergence protocol service data unit; and

each of the one or more second data units is a packet data convergence protocol service data unit.

12 . The base station of claim 9 , wherein:

each of the one or more second data units has not been transmitted, by the wireless device, at a timing of the DSR is triggered by the wireless device; and

each of the one or more first data units has not been transmitted, by the wireless device, at a timing of the DSR MAC CE is transmitted by the wireless device.

13 . The base station of claim 8 , wherein the remaining time threshold value is indicated, via a radio resource control parameter, by a DSR configuration that indicates whether the wireless device is enabled to report delay information.

14 . The base station of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to receive a scheduling request for the DSR:

after the DSR is triggered by the wireless device; and

based on an uplink shared channel resource not being able to accommodate the DSR MAC CE and a subheader of the DSR MAC CE as a result of logical channel prioritization.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more configuration parameters indicating a remaining time threshold value used for triggering a delay status reporting (DSR) for a logical channel group (LCG), associated with an LCG identifier, indicated by a list, wherein the list indicates which one or more LCGs are enabled for the DSR;

trigger the DSR based on a first shortest remaining time, among one or more first remaining times of one or more first data units buffered for a logical channel within the LCG, being less than the remaining time threshold value, wherein each of the one or more first remaining times indicates when to discard a respective data unit of the one or more first data units; and

transmit a DSR medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) indicating a second shortest remaining time, among one or more second remaining times of one or more second data units buffered for the LCG, wherein the second shortest remaining time is based on a timing associated with a transmission of the DSR MAC CE.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine:

the first shortest remaining time when triggering the DSR; and

the second shortest remaining time when transmitting the DSR MAC CE.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein:

each of the one or more first data units is a packet data convergence protocol service data unit; and

each of the one or more second data units is a packet data convergence protocol service data unit.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein:

each of the one or more first data units has not been transmitted at a timing of triggering the DSR; and

each of the one or more second data units has not been transmitted at a timing of transmitting the DSR MAC CE.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the remaining time threshold value is indicated, via a radio resource control parameter, by a DSR configuration that indicates whether the wireless device is enabled to report delay information.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to trigger a scheduling request for the DSR:

after triggering the DSR; and

in response to an uplink shared channel resource not being able to accommodate the DSR MAC CE and a subheader of the DSR MAC CE as a result of logical channel prioritization.
