Dynamic prioritization of uplink traffic

Abstract:

Aspects of the disclosure relate to mechanisms for dynamic prioritization of uplink (UL) traffic at a user equipment (UE). In some examples, the UE may determine to delay transmission of UL traffic by skipping one or more UL transmission opportunities based on one or more factors, such as a power saving indication, a priority level of the UL traffic, a type of the UL traffic, a volume of the UL traffic, and/or current channel conditions. In some examples, the UE may be configured with a parameter controlling the ability of the UE to delay a transmission of UL traffic. In some examples, when the UE is operating in a semi-persistent scheduling mode and a power saving mode, such as a connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode, the UE may dynamically interrupt an OFF duration of the C-DRX cycle to transmit UL traffic.
