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 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 510. When any of the allocated channel resources remains, the logical channels are distributed in a 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 515. |
