    Abstract: According to one aspect of the disclosure, a MAC hardware accelerator of a baseband chip is provided. The medium access control (MAC) hardware accelerator may include a MAC-physical (PHY) layer interface configured to receive, from a PHY layer transmitter (Tx), a request for a first number of bytes for a transport block (TB) associated with a component carrier (CC). The MAC hardware accelerator may obtain a MAC protocol data unit (PDU) from a MAC inline buffer associated with the CC. The MAC -PHY layer interface transfer the MAC PDU to the PHY layer Tx during a first period associated with the TB. In response to determining that the MAC inline buffer does not include the first number of bytes, the MAC -PHY layer interface may b implement a recovery mechanism at an end of the first period to maintain synchronization between the MAC hardware accelerator and the PHY layer Tx.

    Abstract: According to one aspect of the disclosure, a baseband chip is provided. The baseband chip may include a set of transmission command queues each associated with a different component carrier (CC) and each configured to maintain packet descriptors associated with one of the different component carriers (CCs). The baseband chip may also include a Layer 2 microcontroller. The Layer 2 microcontroller may be configured to generate the packet descriptors for each of the different CCs based on associated uplink (UL) grant indicators. The Layer 2 microcontroller may be configured to send each of the packet descriptors to the set of transmission command queues based on CC. The Layer 2 microcontroller may be configured to select a credit-based scheduling mechanism from a set of credit-based scheduling mechanisms. The Layer 2 microcontroller may be configured to configure a transmission scheduler with the credit-based scheduling mechanism.

    Abstract: According to one aspect of the disclosure, a baseband chip is provided. The baseband chip may include a Layer 2 hardware circuit configured to perform Layer 2 packet processing. The baseband chip may also include a resource prediction circuit. The resource prediction circuit may include a resource mapping circuit. The resource mapping circuit may be configured to receive a grant indication associated with one or more grant conditions. The resource mapping circuit may be configured to identify a resource mapping table associated with the one or more grant conditions. In some embodiments, the resource mapping table may indicate a resource level ratio for a set of Layer 2 resources associated with the Layer 2 hardware circuit. The resource mapping circuit may be configured to trigger a first resource level change of the set of Layer 2 resources associated with the Layer 2 hardware circuit.

    Abstract: An apparatus for wireless communication is disclosed. The apparatus may include, among other things, a first logical channel packet (LCP) module and a second LCP module. The first LCP module may dequeue a first slice of a first LCP from a first logical channel (LC) queue until a first threshold condition is met. The first LCP module may send a first LCP indicator to an LCP priority queue when the first slice of the first LCP does not include an entirety of the first LCP. The first LCP indicator may indicate a first remaining slice of the first LCP. The second LCP module dequeue a first slice of a second LCP from a second LC queue until a second threshold condition is met. The first LCP module may dequeue a second slice of the first LCP from the second LC queue until a third threshold condition is met.
