UE Buffer Status Reporting Format Selection for Accurate Uplink Scheduling

The patent implements dynamic BSR format selection where the UE can switch between the first BSR format (lower overhead) and the second BSR format (higher accuracy) based on current buffer status and network conditions. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize between overhead reduction and measurement precision in different operational scenarios, resolving the contradiction by making the format choice flexible rather than fixed.

The patent changes the parameter of BSR format selection based on buffer status thresholds and network conditions. When the buffer status indicates high priority or specific conditions are met, the system transitions to the second BSR format with higher quantization accuracy; otherwise, it uses the first BSR format with lower overhead. This parameter-based adaptation resolves the contradiction by adjusting the reporting format according to actual needs.

The patent segments the BSR reporting into two distinct formats with different characteristics. The first BSR format is used for常规 scenarios where lower complexity is acceptable, while the second BSR format is reserved for specific scenarios requiring higher precision. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity by only employing the more complex format when necessary, rather than always using it.

The patent applies the second BSR format with higher accuracy only partially - specifically when buffer status thresholds are exceeded or certain network conditions are met - rather than continuously. This partial application of the higher-accuracy format reduces the overall complexity burden while maintaining precision when it is actually needed, resolving the contradiction between accuracy improvement and complexity increase.

The patent dynamically controls the inclusion of delay information in BSR reports based on network conditions and buffer status. When delay sensitivity is high or specific triggering conditions are met, delay information is included to improve scheduling efficiency; otherwise, it is omitted to reduce overhead. This dynamic approach resolves the contradiction by making delay information inclusion conditional rather than universal.

The patent changes the BSR content parameters (whether to include delay information) based on network scheduling requirements and buffer status characteristics. By adjusting this parameter according to actual needs, the system achieves high scheduling efficiency when delay information is relevant while minimizing overhead when it is not, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity improvement and overhead increase.
