1. A computer-implemented method for battery power-savings of user equipment operating within a 5G network, the method comprising:
initiating, by one or more processors, a collection of transmission requirement data of logical channels for application-level data from a Service Data Adaptation Protocol, wherein logical channel identification (ID), application ID, and quality of service class identifier (QCI) indexing information is collected;
creating, by the one or more processors, a list of the logical channels having acceptable QCI indexing for permissible transmission delay of packets, based on the logical channel identification (ID), application ID, and QCI indexing information;
mapping, by the one or more processors, the list of the logical channels to related radio link control (RLC) channels;
responsive to receipt of a packet by an RLC multiplexing layer, comparing, by the one or more processors, an RLC channel ID from a segmented automatic repeat request (ARQ) packet to the list of the logical channels with a permissible delay of transmission of packets;
responsive to a match between the RLC channel ID and the list of the logical channels, saving, by the one or more processors, the packet to allocated memory in an RLC data structure; and
responsive to receipt of a time-critical packet, submitting, by the one or more processors, the time-critical packet and the saved packet to a medium access control (MAC) carrier controller for transmission processing.
