The method includes a period arrangement operation of arranging a contention period (CP) at both sides of a contention free period (CFP) in a preset capture interval (I) and an AR traffic allocation operation of allocating AR traffic including UL traffic and DL traffic to the CFP.

A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) includes determining an original amount of uplink data stored in a non-compression buffer, the original amount of data designated to be transmitted to a network. The method also includes predicting, with a machine learning model, an amount of compression gain for the original amount of uplink data. The compression gain is obtained by compressing the original amount of uplink data during a time delay. The method further includes generating a buffer status report based on the original amount of uplink data and the predicted amount of compression gain. The method transmits the buffer status report to the network.

A method of supporting a buffer status report (BSR) associated with a device-to-device (D2D) communication includes: establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection with an evolved NodeB (eNB) and receiving configuration information associated with a D2D communication from the eNB, the configuration information including information of a resource allocation mode for a D2D data transmission and information of a timer associated with a BSR for a D2D data transmission; determining, by a user equipment (UE), a radio link failure (RLF), the RLF being associated with a connection problem of the RRC connection; initializing a re-establishment process for the RRC connection; canceling all BSRs for a D2D data transmission in response to the determined RLF, the canceled BSRs for a D2D data transmission being associated with a D2D data transmission scheduled by the eNB; and initializing the timer associated with a BSR for a D2D data transmission.
