Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The method may include receiving an UL grant for each CC of a plurality of CCs. In an aspect, each UL grant may include a number of transport blocks (TBs) assigned to each CC. The method may further include sorting CCs among the plurality of CCs as a function at least in part based on the number of TB for each of the CCs, and transmitting one or more packet data units (PDUs) using a subset of CCs of the plurality of CCs. In an aspect, the subset of CCs may be based at least in part on the sorting, and any CC of the plurality of CCs in which only medium access control (MAC) padding PDUs would be transmitted may not be included in the subset of CCs.
