Claim 9:
10. A user equipment, the user equipment being configurable to communicate with a radio access node via a plurality of communication protocols, wherein the one or more communication protocols comprising one or more of: a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP); a radio link control (RLC) protocol; or a media access control (MAC) protocol, and to communicate with a core network node via at least one congestion-controlled application transport protocol, the user equipment comprising processing circuitry and a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the user equipment to:
generate a buffer status report comprising an indication of a first amount of data available for transmission from the user equipment, the first amount of data including data stored in an application transport protocol buffer for data conforming to the congestion-controlled application transport protocol, the congestion-controlled application transport protocol comprising one or more of: a transmission control protocol (TCP); a user datagram protocol (UDP); and a quick UDP internet connections (QUIC), and the buffer status report comprising respective separate indications for the amount of data stored in the application transport protocol buffer and an amount of data stored in one or more other buffers such that the buffer status report comprises one or more further indications of one or more respective amounts of data stored in the respective one or more other buffers, one or more other buffers comprising one or more of a PDCP buffer; an RLC protocol buffer; or a MAC protocol buffer; and
transmit the buffer status report to the radio access node.
