Dynamic reporting of packet delay status information

Abstract

A radio access network node configures a user equipment with a delay status report reporting configuration, which may comprise a remaining latency budget criterion. The user equipment may analyze a traffic packet stored in a buffer to determine whether the remaining latency budget criterion is violated. If a violation of a remaining latency budget criterion has occurred, the user equipment may transmit a delay status report to the node. If the violation of the remaining latency budget criterion corresponds to an occurrence count that violates a remaining latency budget violation count criterion, the user equipment may adjust a remaining latency budget criterion to result in an adjusted remaining latency budget criterion, which may be used for generation and transmission of future delay status reports corresponding to packets stored in the buffer in the future. A remaining latency budget criterion may be adjusted based on a change in buffered traffic volume.
