Inventors include Elazzouni, Sherif; Horn, Gavin Bernard; and Ozturk, Ozcan.
The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.
Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For example, a user equipment (UE) may be capable of performing a discard timer selection procedure for a discard timer associated with a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer of a protocol stack of the UE. The UE may receive, from the network entity, a control message indicating one or more selection parameters for the discard timer selection procedure of the UE. In response to receiving the control message, the UE may perform the discard timer selection procedure to obtain a discard timer value for the discard timer. The UE may store one or more PDCP service data units (SDUs) associated with an uplink message for the UE according to the selected discard timer value, such that one or more of the stored PDCP SDUs may be dropped upon expiration of an associated discard timer.
