Abstract: Methods and apparatus configured to obtain a decision-point value, and send, for a logical channel group (LCG) having a quantity of data pending an uplink transmission, a long buffer status report in response to the decision-point value exceeding a threshold value, or a short buffer status report in response to the decision-point value being equal to or less than the threshold value are disclosed. The decision-point value may be a buffer status report-type determinative value, which may be based on a peak power envelope of a wireless communication device, a data transmission rate historically obtained by the wireless communication device, a number of component carriers available for a complete upload of a buffer holding data, a cost function, an amount of data associated with the LCG that is pending the uplink transmission, a type of the wireless communication device, or a latency of communications of the wireless communication device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may receive a control signal that indicates a radio resource management (RRM) configuration associated with one or more measurement thresholds for managing wireless communication links at the wireless device. The wireless device may then perform measurements for one or more synchronization signals in accordance with the RRM configuration. The wireless device may then apply an opportunistic gain to the measurements to generate modified measurements based on a quantity of radio frequency (RF) chains usable by the wireless device for communicating via the wireless communication links. The wireless device may then transmit a measurement report based on the modified measurements satisfying the one or more measurement thresholds, and may receive an additional control signal instructing the wireless device to manage the wireless communication links based on the measurement report.
