PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To support a plurality of report dictionaries, e.g., uplink transmission backlog request report dictionaries, in a wireless communications system, so as to provide bit mapping definition information corresponding to a set of fixed bit size request reports.SOLUTION: Different report dictionaries are structured to accommodate different reporting conditions, needs, and/or requirements. A communications device selects, on a per connection basis, a report dictionary to be used in communicating transmission backlog information, from among the plurality of possible report dictionaries. Information characterizing active traffic flows such as the number of distinct quality of service profiles and/or the current mixture of a best effort traffic flow and a latency constrained traffic flow is used in performing the selection of the report dictionary. The selected report dictionary is utilized, upon generating reports, to interpret information communicated in the reports. |
