Method and Apparatus for Generating Buffer Status Report and Communication System

Abstract

A method and apparatus for generating a buffer status report and a communication system. The apparatus is applicable to user equipment and includes: a first determining unit configured to determine the transmission time interval for transmitting a buffer status report of a sidelink; a judging unit configured to judge whether there exists remaining configured sidelink grant; a second determining unit configured to determine the sidelink destination and its buffer size needing to be contained in the buffer status report according to a judgment result of the judging unit; a generating unit configured to generate the buffer status report according to the sidelink destination and its buffer size needing to be contained in the buffer status report determined by the second determining unit. Accordingly, a problem that a buffer status of a sidelink cannot be correctly reflected in a ProSe BSR by UE in reporting the ProSe BSR may be solved.
