Abstract

A terminal, includes a buffer status report table; at least another table for extended buffer status report; a receiver looks for an indication in a signaling received from a base station wherein the indication corresponds to a type of buffer status report table and selects a table from among the buffer status report table and the at least another table for extended buffer status report based on the indication corresponding to the type of buffer status report table, wherein the indication corresponding to the type of buffer status report table can be determined according to a type of the terminal; and an index sender sends the index to a base station an index obtained from the selected table according to an amount of data in a buffer of the terminal.

Claims (32)

1. A terminal, comprising:

a buffer status report table;

at least another table for extended buffer status report;

a transmitter configured to select a table from among the buffer status report table and the at least another table for extended buffer status report, and transmit a Media Access Control (MAC) signaling to a base station, wherein a Logic Channel Identity (LCID) in the MAC signaling corresponds to a type of the selected buffer status report table;

and

an index sender sends the index to the base station an index obtained from the selected table according to an amount of data in a buffer of the terminal.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a range of the amount of data corresponding to the buffer status report table and a range of amount of data corresponding to the at least another table for extended buffer status report have an inclusion relationship.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a range of the amount of data corresponding to the buffer status report table and a range of the amount of data corresponding to the at least another table for extended buffer status report have a succession relationship.

4. A buffer status report method of a terminal, the terminal comprising a table for buffer status report and at least another table for extended buffer status report, the method comprising:

selecting a table from among the table for buffer status report and the at least another table for extended buffer status report;

transmitting a Media Access Control (MAC) signaling to a base station, wherein a Logic Channel Identity (LCID) in the MAC signaling corresponds to a type of the selected buffer status report table;

obtaining an index from the selected table, according to an amount of data in a buffer of the terminal; and

sending the index to the base station.

5. A base station, comprising:

a buffer status report table;

at least another table for extended buffer status report;

a receiver configured to look for a Logic Channel Identity (LCID) in a Media Access Control (MAC) signaling received from a terminal, wherein the LCID corresponds to a type of selected buffer status report table, and select a table from among the buffer status report table and the at least another table for extended buffer status report based on the LCID; and

an index receiver receives an index from the terminal and determines an amount of data in a buffer of the terminal according to the index received.

6. A buffer status report obtaining method at a base station, the base station comprising a table for buffer status report and at least another table for extended buffer status report, the method comprising:

looking for a Logic Channel Identity (LCID) in Media Access Control (MAC) signaling received from a terminal, wherein the LCID corresponds to a type of selected buffer status report table;

selecting a table from among the table for buffer status report and the at least another table for extended buffer status report based on the LCID;

receiving an index from the terminal; and

determining an amount of data in a buffer of the terminal according to the index from the selected table.

7. A terminal, comprising:

memory including a buffer status report table and at least another table for extended buffer status report; and

processing circuitry configured to:

select a table from among the buffer status report table and the at least another table for extended buffer status report;

cause a Media Access Control (MAC) signaling to be transmitted to a base station, wherein a Logic Channel Identity (LCID) in the MAC signaling corresponds to a type of the selected buffer status report table;

obtain an index from the selected table, according to an amount of data in a buffer of the terminal, and

cause the index to be sent to the base station.

8. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, the MAC signaling further comprises at least certain bits of an additional byte, and the LCID and the at least certain bits of an additional byte together correspond to a type of the selected buffer status report table.

9. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, the MAC signaling further comprises a preserved bit in a subhead of the MAC signaling, and the LCID and the preserved bit together correspond to a type of the selected buffer status report table.
