WIRELESS TRANSMITTER / RECEIVER DEVICES AND THE METHODS USED BY THEM

Abstract

The invention relates to a device that can be configured to determine whether to prioritize a Logical Channel Group (LCG) linked to a sidelink (SL) based on an SL priority threshold and an UL priority threshold, provided that the UL priority threshold is configured. The device can be configured to determine whether the priority value associated with the LCG SL is lower than the SL priority threshold. The device can be configured to determine whether (for example, at least) the uplink LCG (UL) has a priority value equal to or greater than the UL priority threshold. The device can be configured to determine whether to prioritize buffer status reporting (BSR status reporting) SL based on the size of the UL grant and to determine whether to prioritize LCG SL. The device can be configured to report buffer status based on determining whether to prioritize BSR SL.
