Methods and systems for managing a transmit buffer of a wireless communication device, WCD, (110). In one aspect, a scheduler node apparatus (105) determines that a catch-up scheduling grant should be sent based on the WCD's buffer status information, channel conditions, and a packet delay budget. In one aspect, the scheduler node transmits to the WCD the scheduling grant. In another aspect, the scheduler node receives the encoded block of data transmitted by the WCD in response to the scheduling grant message. In another aspect, in response to receiving the encoded block of data, the scheduler node sends a hybrid automatic repeat acknowledgement to the WCD regardless of whether the received encoded data block has been successfully decoded. |
