    Syntax

    [lcid,bsr] = nrMACBSR(lcgBufferSize)
    [lcid,bsr] = nrMACBSR(lcgBufferSize,lcgPriority,paddingBytes)

    Description

    example

    [lcid,bsr] = nrMACBSR(lcgBufferSize) generates a regular or periodic buffer status report (BSR) medium access control (MAC) control element (CE). The input lcgBufferSize specifies the buffer size values for logical channel groups (LCGs). The function generates the BSR for the nonzero values specified in lcgBufferSize. The function also returns lcid, which indicates the logical channel ID corresponding to the generated BSR.

    example

    [lcid,bsr] = nrMACBSR(lcgBufferSize,lcgPriority,paddingBytes) generates a padding BSR MAC CE. lcgPriority specifies the priority of the LCGs. paddingBytes specifies the number of available padding bytes for the function to use to generate the padded BSR MAC CE.

    Generate a regular or periodic BSR MAC CE for a single LCG.

    lcgbuffersize = [0 0 0 9000];         % LCG 3 has data for transmission
[lcid,bsr] = nrMACBSR(lcgbuffersize)
    lcid = 61

    bsr = 118

    LCID 61 represents a short BSR format because only one LCG has data to transmit.

    Now generate regular or periodic BSR MAC CE when all eight LCGs have data to transmit.

    LCID 62 represents a long BSR format because more than one LCG has data to transmit.

    lcgbuffersize = [20000 700 624 3030 125 1020 3500 2100];
[lcid,bsr] = nrMACBSR(lcgbuffersize)
    lcid = 62

    bsr = 9×1

    Generate a padding BSR MAC CE for multiple LCGs.

    Specify the LCG buffer size, LCG priority, and padding bytes.

    lcgBufferSize = [1200 3450 7000 4500 5250 6000 2100 9000];
lcgPriority = [4 15 2 10 7 3 2 9];
paddingBytes = 5;

    Generate a padding BSR MAC CE.

    [lcid,bsr] = nrMACBSR(lcgBufferSize,lcgPriority,paddingBytes)
    lcid = 60

    bsr = 3×1

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Buffer size of the LCGs, specified as a vector with a maximum of eight elements.

    In this vector, specify the LCGs in increasing order of their corresponding LCG IDs. The LCG IDs are indexed from 0 to 7.

    The size of the vector is limited by the highest LCG ID having nonzero data available for transmission.

    Data Types: double

    Priority of the LCGs, specified as a vector with elements in the range [1, 16]. In this vector, list the priority in increasing order of LCG ID.

    A lower priority value indicates an LCG with higher priority, and a higher priority value indicates an LCG with lower priority. For a long truncated BSR format, the LCGs with equal priority are reported in the order of their increasing LCG ID.

    An LCG priority value is derived from the highest priority logical channel mapped to it.

    Data Types: double

    Number of available padding bytes, specified as an integer greater than 1. You must specify these bytes to generate a padding BSR MAC CE.

    The function might not use all of the padding bytes, depending on the value of input lcgBufferSize.

    The paddingbytes value limits the number of LCG buffer size values that the function can report in a long truncated BSR format.

    Output Arguments

    BSR MAC CE, returned as one of these options.

    • Nonnegative integer — For short and short truncated BSR formats.

    • Column vector of octets in decimal format — For long and long truncated BSR formats. The length of the vector is determined by the number of reported LCGs.

    BSR is of one of these three types. For more details, see 3GPP TS 38.321 Section 5.4.5 [1].

    • Regular — When new data arrives in the uplink (UL) buffer and has higher priority than the data that is already waiting in the buffer of the user equipment (UE); or when none of the other LCGs have data to transmit.

    • Periodic — When sent with a predefined periodicity which is set by the network, at the expiry of the periodic BSR timer.

    • Padding — When the number of padding bits in a data message is larger than the size of BSR. In this case, padding bit space can be used to send the BSR.

    Each of these three types of BSR can have one of these four formats.

    • Short — When the UE triggers a regular or periodic BSR, and only a single LCG has data to transmit, then the BSR is reported in the short format.

    • Short truncated — When the UE triggers a padding BSR and multiple LCGs have data to transmit, and the number of padding bits is equal to the length of short BSR and sub header, then the BSR is reported in the short truncated format.

    • Long — When the UE triggers a regular or periodic BSR and multiple LCGs have data to transmit, then the BSR is reported in the long format.

    • Long truncated — When the UE triggers a padding BSR and multiple LCGs have data to transmit, and the padding bit length of the MAC protocol data unit (PDU) is insufficient to transmit the long BSR format, then the UE uses the long truncated format to report the BSR.

    The short truncated and long truncated formats are supported only with padding BSR type. The short and long formats support all three types of BSR CE (regular, periodic, or padding).

    For more details, see 3GPP TS 38.321 Section 6.1.3.1 [1].

    Data Types: double

    Logical channel ID, returned as one of these values, which corresponds to the generated BSR format.

    • 59 — Short truncated BSR format

    • 60 — Long truncated BSR format

    • 61 — Short BSR format

    • 62 — Long BSR format

    Data Types: double
