Abstract

Claims (23)

1. A method for synchronizing delivery of a multimedia service among different media streams performed by a processor of a base station, comprising:

receiving a buffer status report for each of different type media streams of the multimedia service from a wireless device, wherein the buffer status reports indicate different logical channel groups and different priorities for each different type media stream;

allocating uplink (UL) grants for each different type media stream of the multimedia service based on the buffer status reports, wherein the allocated UL grants include a periodic configured grant (CG) offset based on skew of two or more packets between the different type media streams, and wherein the different type media streams include a payload configured to align the CG offset with the skew; and

indicating the allocated UL grant for each different type media stream of the multimedia service to the wireless device over a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a scheduling request (SR) from the wireless device indicating a remaining latency budget for one of the different type media streams of the multimedia service over a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH);

allocating UL grants for the one of the different type media streams of the multimedia service based on the remaining latency budget in response to receiving the SR;

indicating the allocated UL grant for the one of the different type media streams of the multimedia service to the wireless device over the PDCCH; and

receiving UL data from for the one of the different type media streams of the multimedia service from the wireless device over a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the remaining latency budget is a remaining packet delay budget.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the remaining latency budget is a remaining end-to-end (e2e) latency budget.

5. A base station, comprising:

a processor configured with processor-executable instructions to:

receive a buffer status report for each of different type media stream of a multimedia service from a wireless device, wherein the buffer status reports indicate different logical channel groups and different priorities for each different type media stream;

allocate uplink (UL) grants for each different type media stream of the multimedia service based on the buffer status reports, wherein the allocated UL grants include a periodic configured grant (CG) offset based on skew of two or more packets between the different type media streams, and wherein the different type media streams include a payload configured to align the CG offset with the skew; and

indicate the allocated UL grant for each different type media stream of the multimedia service to the wireless device over a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

6. The base station of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions to:

receive a scheduling request (SR) from the wireless device indicating a remaining latency budget for one of the different type media streams of the multimedia service over a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH);

allocate UL grants for the one of the different type media streams of the multimedia service based on the remaining latency budget in response to receiving the SR;

indicate the allocated UL grant for the one of the different type media streams of the multimedia service to the wireless device over the PDCCH; and

receive UL data from for the one of the different type media streams of the multimedia service from the wireless device over a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

7. The base station of claim 6 , wherein the remaining latency budget is a remaining packet delay budget.

8. The base station of claim 6 , wherein the remaining latency budget is a remaining end-to-end (e2e) latency budget.
