1. A method comprising:
- sending a buffer information report to a system station from a node for relaying communications between at least one user station and the system station, the report being generated based on a report format used for uplink reporting by a user station; and
sending an indication to the system station that the node for relaying has different buffering capabilities than the user station.

Abstract
A buffer information report can be sent to a system station from a node for relaying communications between at least one user station and the system station. The report is generated based on a report format used for uplink reporting by a user station. An indication is also sent to the system station that the node for relaying has different buffering capabilities than the user station. At the system station the buffering capabilities of the node for relaying can be determined based on the buffer information report and the indication. Communications between the system station and the node for relaying can then be controlled accordingly.
