<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for communicating transmission backlog information. <P>SOLUTION: Reporting control factors are utilized to expand reporting possibilities for a fixed bit size request report. The report control factor is determined as a function of channel quality information, power information, device capability information, and/or quality of service information. A transmission backlog report value is interpreted as a function of a reporting control factor. A wide range of quantization schemes for reporting transmission backlog information are facilitated corresponding to a small bit size report. A communications device adaptively selects a quantization request level closely matched to its current needs such as to provide an accurate representation of its current traffic channel resource needs. A communications device may request the number of frames in a request report, and the same report may indirectly request the number of communications segments needed to clear its transmission backlog. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
