Abstract

Provided is a method, performed by a user equipment (UE), of processing data in a wireless communication system, the method including: determining a format for buffer status report based on a buffer status of each of logical channel groups when the UE receiving an uplink transmission resource from a base station determines to report the buffer status to the base station; allocating, to each of the logical channel groups, a transmission resource remaining after excluding, from the uplink transmission resource, a transmission resource used for reporting the buffer status of the determined format; and re-determining the format for the buffer status report based on the buffer status of each of the logical channel groups after the allocating.

Claims (48)

1. A method, performed by a user equipment (UE), of processing data in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

in case that a buffer status report is determined to be transmitted via medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), determining a format of the buffer status report based on a buffer status of each of logical channel groups, wherein the format of the buffer status report includes a short buffer status report and a long buffer status report;

identifying size of transmission resource by excluding a resource size for the determined format of the buffer status report from entire transmission resource granted from a base station;

allocating the identified transmission resource, to each of the logical channel groups;

re-determining the format of the buffer status report based on modified buffer status of each of the logical channel groups after the allocation of the identified transmission resource; and

based on the re-determined format of the buffer status report, obtaining the buffer status report including identification information about a logical channel group in which data remains and information about a size of the remaining data.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

mapping the transmission resource allocated to each of logical channels, to data of a logical channel without segmentation; and

in case that a size of the allocated transmission resource is less than a size of the data of the logical channel, determining whether to segment data remaining after the mapping.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a size of a remaining resource or insufficient resource, based on a transmission resource allocated for each logical channel and a buffer status of a logical channel;

mapping the remaining resource data with the insufficient resource;

determining whether to segment data based on a result of the mapping; and

generating a MAC packet data unit (PDU) including at least one non-segmented data or segmented data based on the determining.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein, in the MAC PDU, non-segmented data of logical channels are sequentially arranged and segmented data of the logical channels are sequentially arranged.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein, in the MAC PDU, non-segmented data and segmented data of logical channels are sequentially arranged per each logical channel.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying data mapped to insufficient transmission resources, based on transmission resources allocated for each logical channel and a buffer status of a logical channel;

determining whether to segment the identified data by comparing the identified data with a preset data size; and

generating a MAC packet data unit (PDU) including at least one non-segmented data or segmented data based on the determining.

7. A user equipment (UE) for processing data in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:

in case that a buffer status report is determined to be transmitted via medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), determine a format of the buffer status report based on a buffer status of each of logical channel groups, wherein the format of the buffer status report includes a short buffer status report and a long buffer status report,

identify size of transmission resource by excluding a resource size for the determined format of the buffer status report from entire transmission resource granted from a base station,

allocate, the identified transmission resource to each of the logical channel groups,

re-determine the format of the buffer status report based on modified buffer status of each of the logical channel groups after the allocation of the identified transmission resource, and

based on the re-determined format of the buffer status report, obtain the buffer status report including identification information about a logical channel group in which data remains and information about a size of the remaining data.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

map the transmission resource allocated to each of logical channels, to data of a logical channel without segmentation, and

in case that a size of the allocated transmission resource is less than a size of the data of the logical channel, determine whether to segment data remaining after the mapping.

9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

identify a size of a remaining resource or insufficient resource based on a transmission resource allocated for each logical channel and a buffer status of a logical channel,

map the remaining resource data with the insufficient resource,

determine whether to segment data based on a result of the mapping, and

generate a MAC packet data unit (PDU) including at least one non-segmented data or segmented data based on the determining.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein, in the MAC PDU, non-segmented data of logical channels are sequentially arranged and segmented data of the logical channels are sequentially arranged.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein, in the MAC PDU, non-segmented data and segmented data of logical channels are sequentially arranged per each logical channel.

12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

identify data mapped to insufficient transmission resources based on transmission resources allocated for each logical channel and a buffer status of a logical channel,

determine whether to segment the identified data by comparing the identified data with a preset data size, and

generate a MAC packet data unit (PDU) including at least one non-segmented data or segmented data, based on the determining.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program, which when executed by at least one processor of a user equipment (UE), causes the at least one processor to:

in case that a buffer status report is determined to be transmitted via medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), determine a format of the buffer status report based on a buffer status of each of logical channel groups, wherein the format of the buffer status report includes a short buffer status report and a long buffer status report;

identify size of transmission resource by excluding a resource size for the determined format of the buffer status report from entire transmission resource granted from a base station;

allocate the identified transmission resource, to each of the logical channel groups;

re-determine the format of the buffer status report based on modified buffer status of each of the logical channel groups after the allocation of the identified transmission resource; and

based on the re-determined format of the buffer status report, obtain the buffer status report including identification information about a logical channel group in which data remains and information about a size of the remaining data.
