CONTINUITY FOR BUFFER STATUS REPORTS

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for maintaining continuity of a buffer status report (BSR) from a user equipment (UE) when the UE is handed over between base stations. In one aspect, a base station or a component thereof may be configured to allocate a set of resources for transmission by a UE. The set of resources may have a capacity that is insufficient for an amount of data indicated by a BSR from the UE. The base station or component thereof may be further configured to transmit, to another base station in association with handover of the UE, an indication that the capacity of the set of resources is insufficient for the amount of the data indicated by the BSR.
