A method of transmitting a message between user equipment and network equipment, user equipment and network equipment are disclosed. The method of transmitting a message between user equipment and network equipment in which the message comprises a message header and a message payload, the message header having a plurality of fields, comprises the steps of: setting an indicator field in the message header to indicate that a report providing scheduling information is included in the message payload; setting a secondary indicator field in the message header to indicate that, for at least some values of the secondary indicator field, an alternative report having alternative scheduling information is included in the message payload; and transmitting the message header and message payload. This enables alternative reports to be transmitted from the user equipment without reducing the number of allocatable logical channels or MAC CE types.
