Abstract:
1. In a mobile telecommunications system, a method of generating a data unit, wherein the data unit is employed, at least in part, to provide information to a serving base station about the amount of data that is available for transmission in an uplink, the method comprising: checking whether padding bits are available in the data unit; and if there are padding bits available in the data unit, inserting, into the data unit, a short buffer status report (BSR) and a sub-header corresponding to the short BSR if it is determined that the number of padding bits is greater than or equal to the size of the short BSR plus a sub-header corresponding to the short BSR, but less than the size of a long BSR plus a sub-header corresponding to the long BSR and it is determined that only one logical channel group has buffered data available to transmit via the uplink.
