Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for offloading checksum processing in a user equipment (UE) (e.g., from an application processor to a modem processor). Such offloading may speed up packet processing, increase data rate, and/or free up resources of the application processor for other tasks.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus is a UE. The UE transmits data packets. The UE determines to implement a flow control to reduce a transmission rate of the data packets. The UE determines whether the data packets include known or potential real-time data packets. The UE refrains from implementing the flow control to reduce the transmission rate of the known/potential real-time data packets when the data packets include known/potential real-time data packets.

Abstract: User equipment (UE) transmits an access response to a random access procedure (RACH) preamble message to acquire an uplink grant from a node of a wireless communication system. The access response provides an uplink grant to the UE for a request for authorization to transmit uplink data to the node. In response to determining that the access response message provides an uplink grant sufficient to empty the UE's data buffer, the UE transmits the request for authorization including the uplink data to the node. The UE can then terminate the RACH procedure without requiring any subsequent uplink grant from the node, having accomplished successful data transmission using the request for authorization.

Abstract: A technique for uplink data throttling includes buffer status report (BSR) scaling. A target data flow rate may be determined based on at least on condition of a wireless device. The buffer status report may be adjusted to cause the target flow rate and transmitted by the wireless device. The wireless device may then receive a flow control command based on the buffer status report.
