METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASSOCIATED SIGNALING IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

A packet data system includes a plurality of base stations (43, 48) for providing radio communications with mobile stations (41, 42) over packet data traffic channels. A radio transmission control node (44) controls the operation of the base stations (43, 48). A scheduler (47, 49) associated with each of the plurality of base stations (43, 48) allocates a first logical channel associated with a first user application on a first part of an available radio channel resource and further allocates a second logical control channel associated with at least a second user application, which is less delay sensitive than the first user application, on a second part of the available radio channel resource.
