Methods, systems and apparatus for a user equipment to implement a dynamic discard timer. The user equipment may generate a packet for transmission and store the packet in a buffer of the user equipment. The user equipment may then generate a timeout value for a discard timer for the buffer, where the discard timer discards the packet from the buffer when the timeout value is reached. After a predetermined amount of time, the user equipment may determine whether the packet has been discarded from the buffer and, when it is determined that the packet has not been discarded from the buffer, update the timeout value.

Methods, systems and apparatus for dynamic discard timer

Method and apparatus of a user equipment (UE) device communicating during discontinuous reception (DRX). The UE may determine a data traffic pattern of an application executing on the UE. The UE may compare the data traffic pattern against a plurality of DRX configuration settings of a base station (BS). The UE may determine that the DRX configuration settings do not match the data traffic pattern. The UE may select a first DRX configuration setting based on the data traffic pattern. The UE may perform communication according to the first DRX configuration settings. The UE may transmit a scheduling request (SR) outside of a DRX on-duration according to the data traffic pattern. Transmitting the SR may be based on the DRX configuration settings not matching the data traffic pattern of the application. In response to transmitting the SR, the UE may receive downlink data of the application from the BS.
