Abstract

A method in a wireless device is disclosed. The method comprises sending a scheduling request to a network node, and receiving, from the network node in response to the scheduling request, a grant of uplink resources. The method further comprises determining whether the granted uplink resources are at least equal to or larger than the resources required for transmission of both a buffer status report (BSR) and a sidelink BSR, and upon determining that the granted uplink resources are at least equal to or larger than the resources required for transmission of both the BSR and the sidelink BSR, communicating the BSR and the sidelink BSR to the network node in a single medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU).
