what is the Handle field sent in UE_CONFIG.request() from L2/L3 software to L1-PHY

Question

I know buffer status report is sent from UE to eNodeB to request for UL resources. Can someone please explain how many types of buffer status reports have been defined till now and in what scenarios each one is used ?

Hi,

This is actually an Virtual address which is used to keep the UL data once PHY read form RF. So while giving ULSCH indication PHY will returm back this handle to MAC then MAC will read actual ULSCH data form this address
