Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 13:
14. A radio station for communicating in a network with at least a second station, the radio station comprising:
a buffer memory for storing data packets to be transmitted for one or more groups of logical channels;
a microcontroller that:
estimates a status of the at least one buffer memory; and
adapts the granularity of information included in a buffer status report representative of the buffer memory status, said adaption depending on a number of padding bits in a granted resource;
wherein adapting the granularity of information further comprises adapting a coarseness of the buffer status report;
wherein the buffer status report comprises a number of bits, and
adapting the coarseness of the buffer status report further includes adapting an information accuracy included in the buffer status report by changing the number of bits in the buffer status report; and

a transmitter for transmitting the buffer status report.
