1. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a transceiver;
a memory configured to store instructions; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
start, based on detecting an event of data being stored in a buffer, a discard timer based on expiration of which the data is to be released from the buffer;
transmit a scheduling request (SR) for an uplink grant based at least in part on presence of the data in the buffer, wherein the SR is scheduled for transmission according to a SR periodicity; and
abort, based at least in part on the expiration of the discard timer, at least a next SR that is scheduled for transmission according to the SR periodicity, wherein the data is released from the buffer based on the expiration of the discard timer.
