PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for selecting data rates at which data are transmitted over a primary uplink in the presence of one or more secondary uplink channels. SOLUTION: The present invention comprises a method including: determining probabilities associated with numbers of attempted transmissions of data; determining the number of times pending data transmissions have been attempted; determining probabilities associated with the data transmissions; and allocating power for transmission of the data in a succeeding frame based upon the associated probabilities. In one embodiment, a highest supportable data rate for a primary uplink is initially selected. Then, power is allocated for a minimum set of channels on the primary uplink. Then, power is allocated for pending data transmissions on the secondary uplink. A maximum power level for the transceiver is then adjusted to account for the allocated power, and the highest supportable data rate for the primary uplink is recomputed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
