Claim 4:
5. A second node in a communication system, the second node comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
transmit, to a first integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, information indicating to report the information on an available buffer size of the first IAB node, via an adaptation layer associated with an IAB network, and
receive, from the first IAB node, the information on the available buffer size of the first IAB node, via the adaptation layer associated with the IAB network,

wherein identification information indicating the second node is to receive information on an available buffer size of the first IAB node from the first IAB node is transmitted from a third node to the first IAB node,
wherein the first IAB node comprises a function of distributed unit for a base station and a function for a user equipment (UE),
wherein the second node corresponds to an IAB node or a distributed unit of the base station, and
wherein the third node corresponds to a donor central unit of a base station.
