A 5G new radio (NR) Base Station (gNB) is described. The gNB includes a processor and memory in electronic communication with the processor. Instructions stored in the memory are executable to receive one or more indications for data availability generated by an ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC)-based logical channel group (LCG) in a 5G NR buffer status report (BSR), a specific numerology-based LCG in a 5G NR BSR, or a URLLC operating in a specific numerology using a 5G NR BSR.
