PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide improved methods of L2 uplink channel prioritization and rate control for minimizing padding, and considering control channels, and logical channels corresponding to a signaling radio bearer.SOLUTION: Logical channel resources are allocated to a plurality of logical channels for usable data (step 505). A maximum bit rate (MBR) credit (token) is decremented by size of a medium access control (MAC) service data unit (SDU) in a buffer (bucket) associated with a specific channel among the logical channels. The MBR credit can have a negative value (step 510). When any of the allocated channel resources remains, the logical channels are distributed in descending order of priority until the data is depleted. When the whole radio link control (RLC) SDU conforms to the remaining resources, the RLC SDU is not segmented (step 515).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 |
