Method and apparatus for transmission protocol uplink channel selection

摘要

First and second wireless transmission protocol uplink channels are available for use by a wireless device in transmitting data to a network. In various examples, the device selects between the first and second wireless transmission protocol uplink channels according to various different criteria. Examples include selecting between the first and second wireless transmission protocol uplink channels according to the type of data to be transmitted and according to the identity of the device, and various combinations of these.

主权项

1. A method of selecting one of at least a first wireless transmission protocol uplink channel and a second wireless transmission protocol uplink channel for use by a wireless device in transmitting data to a network, the method comprising:
determining, using a processor in the wireless device, whether the data to be transmitted to the network is to be transmitted as a first type of transmission or as a second type of transmission different than the first type of transmission; selecting a first wireless transmission protocol uplink channel for use by the wireless device when performing the first type of transmission; and selecting a second wireless uplink transmission protocol channel for use by the wireless device when performing the second type of transmission, the first and second wireless transmission protocol uplink channels being different types of physical channels of a single activity state occupied by the wireless device at a particular time.
