Methods for SL SR/BSR Handling - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137932 titled 'Methods for SL SR/BSR Handling
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods performed by a wireless device to communicate via an uplink (UL) to a network and via a sidelink (SL) to other wireless devices. The methods involve triggering SL scheduling requests to obtain UL grants for transmitting SL buffer status reports indicating data available to be sent via the SL. Prior to transmitting the SL scheduling request, an UL scheduling request is sent to obtain a second UL grant for transmitting an UL buffer status report. The SL buffer status report is selectively transmitted using the second UL grant, and the SL scheduling request transmission is cancelled in response.
- Wireless device communication methods involving UL and SL
- Triggering SL scheduling requests for UL grants
- Transmitting SL buffer status reports and UL buffer status reports
- Selectively transmitting SL buffer status reports using UL grants

Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments include methods performed by a wireless device configured to communicate via an uplink (ul) to a network and via a sidelink (sl) to one or more other wireless devices. such methods include, based on availability of data to be sent via the sl, triggering a sl scheduling request (sr) to obtain a first ul grant to facilitate transmission of a sidelink (sl) buffer status report (bsr) indicating the data available to be sent via the sl. such methods include, prior to transmitting the sl sr to obtain the first ul grant, transmitting an ul sr to obtain a second ul grant to facilitate transmission of an ul bsr indicating data available to be sent via the ul. such methods include selectively transmitting the sl bsr using the second ul grant and cancelling the sl sr transmission in response to transmitting the sl bsr using the second ul grant.
