Abstract
Methods and apparatus for producing a compressed buffer status report (400) for use in a wireless network are disclosed. In several of the disclosed embodiments, a wireless terminal (160) forms a compressed buffer status report (400) that includes a field (410) of one or more bits that indicate an overall status corresponding to all or substantially all of the uplink data buffers for the wireless terminal (160), along with one or more fields (420) that indicate buffer status for specific corresponding radio bearers or groups of radio bearers. Accordingly, a small buffer report (410) may be sent in-band with the uplink data transmission, such as in headers (810) of one or more MAC packet data units (800), to convey information about the status of the wireless terminals buffers, both for all the buffers (i.e., collectively), and for each of several high-priority radio bearers or groups of radio bearers.
