1. A method, comprising:

  • at a user equipment (“

    UE”

    ) connected to a network, wherein the UE communicates data to the network on an uplink (“

    UL”

    ) link;

    determining a requested buffer size for a UL communication;

    determining a transport block size for the UL communication based on a primary set of allocation parameters;

    comparing the requested buffer size to the transport block size to determine a data rate for the UL communication that is being supported by the network;

    determining when the data rate for the UL communication satisfies a threshold;

    when the data rate satisfies the threshold, identifying the UL link as a good quality link and sending acceptable link quality feedback to the network; and

    when the data rate does not satisfy the threshold, performing a further action to test a quality of the UL link.
