METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING COMMUNICATION VIA A RELAY NODE

摘要

A method and apparatus for supporting communication buffer status reports (BSRs) are disclosed. A wireless device may transmit data to at least one group of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs). The wireless device may produce a BSR, which may include an indication associated with a group of WTRUs and an indication of an amount of data that the wireless device has buffered to transmit to the group of WTRUs. The wireless device may transmit the BSR to an eNodeB (eNB). The BSR may include a plurality of indications associated with a respective plurality of groups of WTRUs and respective indications of amounts of data that the wireless device has buffered to transmit each of the plurality of groups. The indication of the amount of data that the wireless device has buffered to transmit to the group of WTRUs may identify a total across all logical channels of the group of WTRUs.

主权项

1. A wireless device comprising:
a transceiver operatively coupled to a processor, the transceiver and the processor configured to transmit data to at least one group of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs); the transceiver and the processor further configured to produce a buffer status report; wherein the buffer status report includes an indication associated with a group of WTRUs and an indication of an amount of data that the wireless device has buffered to transmit to the group of WTRUs; and the transceiver and the processor further configured to transmit the buffer status report to an eNodeB.
