Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify that uplink data is available for transmission at the UE prior to a scheduling request occasion. The UE may skip transmission of a scheduling request during the scheduling request occasion based on identifying that an uplink grant is pending. The UE may transmit at least a portion of the uplink data to a base station using a resource allocation indicated by the uplink grant. Alternatively, the UE may transmit the scheduling request to the base station during a first scheduling request occasion. The UE may initiate a retransmission timer based on transmitting the scheduling request. Accordingly, the UE may skip retransmission of the scheduling request during a second scheduling request occasion that is subsequent to the first scheduling request occasion based on the retransmission timer.
