Abstract

Allocation of resources in a wireless network are described where resources are allocated for data of each channel having a second parameter above zero prior to another channel's data for transmission having a third parameter less than or equal to zero. The second parameter may be derived from a first channel's first parameter and the third parameter is derived from a second channel's first parameter.

Claims (30)

1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

circuitry configured to receive, from a network device, a first transmission including a first parameter corresponding to each of a plurality of channels and a second transmission including an allocation message for an uplink resource from the network device;

a processor configured to allocate resources in response to the allocation message, wherein resources are allocated for data of each channel having a second parameter above zero prior to another channel's data for transmission having a third parameter less than or equal to zero; and

wherein the second parameter is derived from a first channel's first parameter and the third parameter is derived from a second channel's first parameter.

2. The UE of claim 1 further comprising:

a transmitter further configured to transmit a third transmission including a plurality of indications of buffer occupancies associated with the plurality of channels.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second parameter is derived by multiplying the first channel's first parameter with a fourth parameter and the third parameter is derived by multiplying the second channel's first parameter with the fourth parameter.

4. A network device comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a first transmission including a first parameter for each of a plurality of channels;

the transmitter further configured to transmit a second transmission including an allocation message for an uplink resource;

circuitry configured to receive a third transmission including data from the plurality of channels in response to the allocation message, wherein allocation of resources for the data of each channel having a second parameter above zero is provided prior to another channel's data for transmission having a third parameter less than or equal to zero;

and

wherein the second parameter is derived from a first channel's first parameter and the third parameter is derived from a second channel's first parameter.

5. The network device of claim 4 further comprising:

the circuitry is further configured to receive a fourth transmission including a plurality of indications of buffer occupancies associated with the plurality of channels.

6. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, from a network device, a first transmission including a first parameter corresponding to each of a plurality of channels and a second transmission including an allocation message for an uplink resource from the network device;

allocating, by a processor, resources in response to the allocation message, wherein resources are allocated for data of each channel having a second parameter above zero prior to another channel's data for transmission having a third parameter less than or equal to zero; and

wherein the second parameter is derived from a first channel's first parameter and the third parameter is derived from a second channel's first parameter.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising:

transmitting a third transmission including a plurality of indications of buffer occupancies associated with the plurality of channels.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the second parameter is derived by multiplying the first channel's first parameter with a fourth parameter and the third parameter is derived by multiplying the second channel's first parameter with the fourth parameter.

9. A method performed by a network device, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a first transmission including a first parameter for each of a plurality of channels;

transmitting a second transmission including an allocation message for an uplink resource;

receiving a third transmission including data from the plurality of channels in response to the allocation message, wherein allocation of resources for the data of each channel having a second parameter above zero is provided prior to another channel's data for transmission having a third parameter less than or equal to zero;

and

wherein the second parameter is derived from a first channel's first parameter and the third parameter is derived from a second channel's first parameter.

10. The method of claim 9 further comprising:

receiving a fourth transmission including a plurality of indications of buffer occupancies associated with the plurality of channels.
