ADAPTIVE BUFFER STATUS REPORTING Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H04L12/879 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of transmitting information over a network. The method comprises transmitting from a first station to a second station, wherein the first station comprises at least one buffer memory for storing data packets intended for transmission, wherein the method includes steps where (a) the first station estimates the status of at least one buffer memory, (b) the first station transmits at least one buffer status packet which is the buffer memory status, wherein the method further includes a step (c) of adapting the value of the first parameter of the buffer status packets based on data traffic characteristics.
