Abstract: The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for uplink resource management at a user equipment (UE). For example, the disclosure presents a method for uplink resource management at a UE by detecting that a radio link control (RLC) transmission window is full at the UE after acquiring high speed-random access channel (HS-RACH) resources, initiating a message from the UE to a network entity in response to the detection for triggering transmission of a status protocol data unit (PDU) from the network entity to the UE, and receiving the status PDU from the network entity in response to the transmission. The present disclosure may also include transmitting new PDUs or re-transmitting un-acknowledged PDUs to the network entity based at least on information received in the status PDU. As such, uplink resource management at a UE may be achieved.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for enhanced cell update procedures are presented. In an aspect, an example method may include determining that a first cell update trigger has occurred and generating a first cell update message based on determining that the first cell update trigger has occurred. In an additional aspect, the example method may include determining that a second cell update trigger has occurred subsequent to the first cell update trigger and generating a second cell update message based on determining that the second cell update trigger has occurred. Furthermore, the example method may include determining that at least a portion of the first cell update message is pending transmission at a time that the second cell update message is generated, discarding the first cell update message, and transmitting the second cell update message to a network entity.
