Abstract

A method and apparatus for configuring a buffer status report (BSR) for a public safety transmission or a vehicle-related (V2X) transmission in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) configures a device-to-device (D2D) logical channel corresponding to the public safety transmission or the V2X transmission, and triggers a proximity-based services (ProSe) BSR for the D2D logical channel. The UE accommodates the triggered ProSe BSR in a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) if the MAC PDU can accommodate only one BSR MAC control element (CE).

Claims (21)

1. A method for configuring, by a user equipment (UE), a buffer status report (BSR) for a public safety transmission or a vehicle-related (V2X) transmission in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

configuring, by the UE, a device-to-device (D2D) logical channel corresponding to the public safety transmission or the V2X transmission;

triggering, by the UE, a proximity-based services (ProSe) BSR for the D2D logical channel; and

accommodating, by the UE, the triggered ProSe BSR in a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) if the MAC PDU can accommodate only one BSR MAC control element (CE).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a highest priority is assigned to the D2D logical channel corresponding to the public safety transmission or the V2X transmission.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ProSe BSR reflects a buffer status of the D2D logical channel corresponding to the public safety transmission or the V2X transmission.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ProSe BSR is used to provide the network with information about amount of data available for D2D transmission.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the V2X transmission includes at least one of a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) transmission, a vehicle-to-pedestrians (V2P) transmission, or a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) transmission.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one BSR MAC CE is a short/truncated BSR MAC CE.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a logical channel group (LCG) identifier (ID) in the short/truncated BSR MAC CE corresponds to a D2D-LCG ID.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one BSR MAC CE is either a long BSR MAC CE format 1 or a long BSR MAC CE format 2.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one buffer size field in the long BSR MAC CE format 1 is replaced with D2D-LCG ID.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of buffer size fields in the long BSR MAC CE format 2 is configured by a network or the UE.

11. A user equipment (UE) configured to configure a buffer status report (BSR) for a public safety transmission or a vehicle-related (V2X) transmission in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit or receive a radio signal; and

a processor coupled to the RF unit, and configured to:

configure a device-to-device (D2D) logical channel corresponding to the public safety transmission or the V2X transmission;

trigger a proximity-based services (ProSe) BSR for the D2D logical channel; and

accommodate the triggered ProSe BSR in a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) if the MAC PDU can accommodate only one BSR MAC control element (CE).

12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein a highest priority is assigned to the D2D logical channel corresponding to the public safety transmission or the V2X transmission.

13. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the V2X transmission includes at least one of a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) transmission, a vehicle-to-pedestrians (V2P) transmission, or a vehicle-to- infrastructure (V2I) transmission.
