Claim:
1. A method for wireless communications by a base station (BS), comprising: periodically scheduling transmission resources for use by a user equipment (UE) for transmitting data on a logical channel, wherein the periodically scheduling grants the UE a fixed first transport block (TB) size of transmission resources at regular intervals; receiving an indication from the UE of an amount of data for transmission on the logical channel; adjusting the fixed first TB size of the periodically scheduled transmission resources to a fixed second TB size based on the indicated amount of data; configuring the UE to enable scheduling request masking (SR-masking) on the logical channel; and configuring the UE with a threshold amount of data, larger than the fixed second TB size, for the logical channel to dynamically disable SR-masking on the logical channel.
