Abstract

A mobile station is a mobile station configured to transmit data to a base station by performing priority control, and includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to be capable of transmitting a plurality of pieces of data having different requirements corresponding to a plurality of channel groups, and be capable of, when performing the priority control, applying a radio resource specified by the base station to a channel group specified by the base station out of the channel groups and controlling transmission of the data.

Claims (46)

1. A mobile station configured to transmit data to a base station by performing priority control, the mobile station comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit, to the base station, a plurality of pieces of data having different requirements, each logical channel group of a plurality of logical channel groups corresponding to one of the different requirements; and

a controller circuitry configured to, when performing the priority control, apply a radio resource specified by the base station to a logical channel group specified by the base station among the logical channel groups and control, using the radio resource corresponding to each of the logical channel groups, transmission of the plurality of pieces of data in units of the logical channel groups, wherein

the controller circuitry is further configured to:

apply, when the logical channel group is a first logical channel group, a first radio resource as the radio resource to the first logical channel group,

apply, when the logical channel group is a second logical channel group, a second radio resource as the radio resource to the second logical channel group, and

the first radio resource is a resource allocated only for the first logical channel group.

2. The mobile station according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a receiver configured to receive first control information including resource information that specifies a first radio resource and group identification information that specifies a first channel group from the base station; and

wherein the controller circuitry is further configured to, according to the first control information, allocate the first radio resource to the first channel group and control transmission of data corresponding to the first channel group.
