  • Patent number: 11974271
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for configuring contention-free uplink resources and contention-based uplink resources as preconfigured uplink resources (PUR) available for a user equipment (UE) to transmit one or more uplink transmissions without a specific allocation for the uplink transmission from a base station. Each of two or more UEs may be configured with separate portions of contention-free PUR that each UE may use to transmit a relatively small first uplink communication that provides an indication that the UE will transmit a relatively larger second uplink communication using contention-based PUR. The UE may transmit a buffer status report (BSR) using the contention-free PUR. The first communication may provide an indication of one or more physical layer parameters associated with the second uplink communication.
