Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for sending and receiving a buffer status report, a user equipment, and a base station. The method includes: receiving indication information that is sent by a macro base station and that is used to request a user equipment UE to send a buffer status report, and sending a buffer status report BSR to the macro base station and/or at least one small cell according to the indication information, where the macro base station and the at least one small cell jointly serve the UE, and a service area of the macro base station is larger than a service area of each small cell of the at least one small cell.
Claims16
A method for sending a buffer status report, comprising:
- receiving indication information that is sent by a macro base station and that is used to request a user equipment (UE) to send a buffer status report;
- wherein the indication information comprises information that indicates a size of data separately transmitted to the macro base station and at least one small cell in each service;
- and
- sending a buffer status report (BSR) to the macro base station or the at least one small cell according to the indication information, wherein the macro base station and the at least one small cell jointly serve the UE, and a service area of the macro base station is larger than a service area of each small cell of the at least one small cell.
A method for receiving a buffer status report, comprising:
- sending, by a macro base station to a user equipment (UE), indication information that is used to request the UE to send a buffer status report;
- wherein the indication information comprises information that indicates a size of data separately transmitted to the macro base station and at least one small cell in each service;
- and
- receiving, by the macro base station, a buffer status report (BSR) that is sent by the UE according to the indication information, wherein the macro base station and at least one small cell jointly serve the UE, and a service area of the macro base station is larger than a service area of each small cell of the at least one small cell.
A user equipment (UE), comprising a transmitter and a receiver, wherein:
- the receiver is configured to receive indication information that is sent by a macro base station and that is used to request the UE to send a buffer status report;
- wherein the indication information comprises information that indicates a size of data separately transmitted to the macro base station and at least one small cell in each service;
- and
- the transmitter is configured to send a buffer status report (BSR) to the macro base station or at least one small cell according to the indication information, wherein the macro base station and the at least one small cell jointly serve the UE, and a service area of the macro base station is larger than a service area of each small cell of the at least one small cell.
A base station, comprising:
- a transmitter, configured to send a user equipment (UE) indication information that is used to request the UE to send a buffer status report (BSR);
- wherein the indication information comprises information that indicates a size of data separately transmitted to the macro base station and at least one small cell in each service;
- and
- a receiver, configured to receive the BSR that is sent by the UE according to the indication information, wherein a macro base station and the at least one small cell jointly serve the UE, and a service area of the macro base station is larger than a service area of each small cell of the at least one small cell.
