Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for buffer state report. A method performed at a terminal device may comprise: predicting a buffer size associated with data to be transmitted; and transmitting a buffer state report, BSR, including the predicted buffer size to a network node. A method performed at a network node may comprise: receiving a buffer state report, BSR, including a predicted buffer size associated with data to be received from a terminal device; and transmitting a grant for the data according to the received BSR. The latency of data transmission from the terminal device to the network node may be reduced.
