1. A wireless communication terminal wirelessly communicating with a base wireless communication terminal, the wireless communication terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to transmit, by using the transceiver, buffer status information including a queue data size field to the base wireless communication terminal, wherein the queue data size field indicates a size of data stored in a transmission buffer using a variable granularity of the size of the data, and
wherein the buffer status information is included in a quality of service (QoS) control field which signals information on a QoS control of a medium access control (MAC) header.
