Abstract

A terminal including; a memory configured to store a first table and a second table different from the first table; a receiver configured to receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Connection setup signaling including information indicating the first table or the second table, a controller configured to configure a buffer table to the first table or the second table according to the information; and, a transmitter configured to transmit a RRC Connection setup complete signaling after configured the table, wherein, the transmitter transmits a signal including an index of the buffer table accorded to amount of data that the terminal has, the index indicates a range of data amount.

Claims (29)

1. A terminal comprising;

a memory configured to store a first buffer table and a second buffer table which extends a maximum buffer data amount reportable by the terminal;

a controller configured to select the first buffer table or the second buffer table; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a control signal including first information and second information, wherein the first information indicates a first buffer status report or a second buffer status report, and wherein the second information is buffer status information, wherein

when the first information indicates the first buffer status report, the buffer status information comprises information on a logical channel group mapped to a first octet and an index selected from either the first buffer table or the second buffer table mapped to a second octet, wherein the information on a logical channel group or the information on a logical channel group in combination with the first information indicates the first buffer table or the second buffer table selected by the controller for the logical channel group.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the index is represented by 0 to 63.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when the index indicating a data amount greater than a predetermined value is used, the predetermined value of the second buffer table is larger than the predetermined value of the first buffer table.

4. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the index is represented by 0 to 63, the index indicating a range larger than the predetermined value is 63.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the control signal is a media access control signal including a media access control sub header and a media access control buffer status report control element.

6. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the first information of the media access control signal includes a logical channel identity having a correspondence relationship with the first buffer table or the second buffer table selected by the controller.

7. The terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the first information including the logical channel identity is transmitted via the media access control sub header of the media access control signal.

8. A base station comprising;

a memory configured to store a first buffer table and a second buffer table which extends a maximum buffer data amount reportable by a terminal; and

a receiver configured to receive a control signal including first information and second information, wherein the first information indicates a first buffer status report or a second buffer status report, and wherein the second information is buffer status information, wherein when the first information indicates the first buffer status report, the buffer status information comprises information on a logical channel group mapped to a first octet and an index selected from either the first buffer table or the second buffer table mapped to a second octet, wherein the information on a logical channel group or the information on a logical channel group in combination with the first information indicates the first buffer table or the second buffer table selected for the logical channel group.

9. The base station according to claim 8 , wherein the index is represented by 0 to 63.

10. The base station according to claim 8 , wherein when the index indicating a data amount greater than a predetermined value is used, the predetermined value of the second buffer table is larger than the predetermined value of the first buffer table.

11. The base station according to claim 10 , wherein the index is represented by 0 to 63, the index indicating a range larger than the predetermined value is 63.

12. The base station according to claim 8 , wherein the control signal is a media access control signal including a media access control sub header and a media access control buffer status report control element.

13. The base station according to claim 12 , wherein the first information of the media access control signal includes a logical channel identity having a correspondence relationship with the first buffer table or the second buffer table selected by the control signal.

14. A terminal comprising;

a memory configured to store a first buffer table and a second buffer table different from the first buffer table;

a transmitter configured to transmit a control signal including first information and second information, wherein the first information indicates a first buffer status report or a second buffer status report, and wherein the second information is buffer status information, wherein

when the first information indicates the first buffer status report, the buffer status information comprises information on a logical channel group mapped to a first octet and an index selected from either the first buffer table or the second buffer table mapped to a second octet, wherein the information on a logical channel group or the information on a logical channel group in combination with the first information indicates the first buffer table or the second buffer table selected for the logical channel group.

15. A terminal comprising;

a memory configured to store a first buffer table and a second buffer table different from the first buffer table;

a controller configured to select the first buffer table or the second buffer table, and select an index of the selected first buffer table or the second buffer table according to an amount of data the terminal has; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a control signal including first information and second information, wherein the first information indicates a first buffer status report or a second buffer status report, and wherein the second information is buffer status information, wherein

when the first information indicates the first buffer status report, the buffer status information comprises information on a logical channel group mapped to a first octet and the selected index mapped to a second octet, wherein the information on a logical channel group or the information on a logical channel group in combination with the first information indicates the first buffer table or the second buffer table selected for the logical channel group.

16. The terminal according to claim 14 , wherein the control signal is a media access control signal including a media access control sub header and a media access control buffer status report control element.
