1. A method comprising:
communicating, by a control unit of a communication network, at least one data burst comprising at least one data block towards a distributed unit of the communication network, wherein the communicating comprises:
determining, a buffer status of a buffer of the control unit for communicating the at least one first data block of at least one data burst with the distributed unit;
based on the determining, setting at least one value of at least one timer for each first data block of the at least one data burst, wherein said at least one timer is identifying at least one given time of a buffer of the distributed unit reserved for each first data block of said at least one first data block of the at least one data burst; and
based on at least said at least one given time, communicating the at least one first data block of the at least one data burst with the distributed unit, wherein the at least one value of said at least one timer is determined based on a volume of each first data block, and scheduling throughput capacity of the distributed unit,
wherein said at least one timer is set individually for each first data burst for the at least one data burst to the at least one value given as a ratio of the volume and the scheduling throughput capacity of the distributed unit.
