Abstract
The present disclosure relates to pseudo-randomization of unused resources at a medium access control layer (MAC) of a user equipment (UE). For example, the disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for determining that an uplink (UL) resource grant, associated with a first radio access technology (RAT), for the UE results in unused resources where there are a greater number of resources than available data for transmission at the UE, wherein the UE is configured to receive information associated with a second RAT, and wherein the first RAT is different from the second RAT, populating the unused resources, at a medium access control (MAC) layer, with pseudo-randomized bits, and transmitting at least a portion of the available data and the populated unused resources using the UL resource grant associated with the first RAT. As such, pseudo-randomization of unused resources at a medium access control layer (MAC) of a UE may be achieved.
