1. A method for a network node, the method comprising:
receiving an enhanced buffer status report (eBSR) from a user equipment (UE),
determining from the eBSR information identifying a number of small packets pending for transmission, wherein the eBSR includes a count value, wherein the count value includes a total size of the number of small packets pending for transmission, wherein the total size is a size of two or more pending small packets added together, and
allocating radio resources based on the eBSR.
