1. A first electronic device, comprising:
a transmitter;
a receiver; and
processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the transmitter and the receiver, the processing circuitry configured to
send, using the transmitter, data to a second electronic device,
receive, using the receiver, a grant from a network to send the data,
send, using the transmitter, an indication to the second electronic device that the grant from the network is received, the indication being configured to cause the second electronic device to send a first variation of the data to the network, and
send, using the transmitter, a second variation of the data to the network based on the grant, the second variation of the data different than the first variation of the data sent to the network by the second electronic device.
