Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting communication buffer status reports (BSRs) are disclosed. A wireless device may transmit a first buffer status report (BSR) and a second BSR in a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) to a first base station. In an example, the first BSR may be associated with first data for transmission to the wireless device from at least one wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). Also, the second BSR may be associated with second data for transmission to the first base station from the wireless device. Further, the wireless device may receive at least a portion of the first data from the at least one WTRU. Moreover, the wireless device may transmit at least a portion of the second data to the first base station. In a further example, the transmitting the first BSR and the second BSR may be based on a priority associated with the first BSR and a priority associated with the second BSR.

Abstract: Techniques for predicting analyte levels based on intermittent sensor data are disclosed. First sensor data is acquired from an analyte sensor. The first sensor data reflects analyte levels of a user who is wearing the analyte sensor. The first sensor data is collected over a first time period. Later, a determination is made as to whether data is still being acquired from the analyte sensor. As a result of determining that data is no longer being acquired from the analyte sensor, the first sensor data is classified as intermittent analyte data. The intermittent analyte data is then used to generate predicted analyte level data for the user during a second time period that is subsequent to the first time period. The predicted analyte level data is reflective of the intermittent analyte data.

Abstract: Current wireless networks do not allow machine type communication (MTC) devices to have long discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles or sleep lengths. A long DRX cycle may allow MTC systems and devices to operate with much longer DRX/Sleep cycles/periods. This may facilitate the MTC operations for infrequent system access or infrequent system reaching (e.g. paged once in a week) with no or low mobility and may allow MTC devices to sleep for a long time with low power consumption.
