1. A method performed by a user equipment, UE, for handling communication of data in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a network node, a scheduling request, SR, indicating a buffer status of the UE by using an SR resource having a value of a cyclic shift masking a physical uplink control channel, PUCCH SR, the value being selected from a plurality of values, the plurality of values being based on a number of buffer thresholds configured for the UE, the buffer status indicating a level of buffer, the level of the buffer being conveyed using different physical uplink control channel, PUCCH, sequence group numbers u and sequence numbers v within a sequence group.
