1. A method of operating a mobile device, comprising:
- operating a plurality of logical channel queues, each of the logical channel queues associated with a priority and a traffic shaping rate;
selecting, from the plurality of logical channel queues, a highest priority logical channel queue having data for transmission and whose traffic shaping rate is not reached;
allocating a portion of a data transmission capacity available to the mobile device, to the selected logical channel queue, wherein the allocated portion is limited by;
the traffic shaping rate associated with the selected logical channel queue,the data available for transmission in the selected logical channel queue, andthe data transmission capacity;
repeatedly considering a next highest priority logical channel queue for selecting and allocating, until at least one of;
the data transmission capacity is exhausted, andeach of the plurality of logical channel queues is considered for selecting; and
thereafterallocating a remaining portion, if any, of the data transmission capacity to one or more of the logical channel queues having data for transmission, selected in priority order.

Abstract
An apparatus, system and method are provided for transmitting data from logical channel queues over a telecommunications link, each of the logical channel queues capable of being associated with quality of service attributes, the method including determining available resources for transmission over the telecommunications link in a frame; selecting one of the logical channel queues based on a first one of the quality of service attributes; packaging data from the selected one of the logical channel queues until one of: a second one of the quality of service attributes for the selected one of the logical channel queues is satisfied, the available resources are used, or the selected one of the logical channel queues is empty; and repeating the selecting step and the packaging step for remaining ones of the logical channel queues.

7. A mobile device for transmitting data using a data transmission capacity, comprising:
-
a link controller operable to; operate a plurality of logical channel queues for transmitting data, each of the logical channel queues is capable of being associated with a priority and a traffic shaping rate, select, from the plurality of logical channel queues, a highest priority logical channel queue having data available for transmission and whose traffic shaping rate is not reached, allocate a portion of the data transmission capacity to the selected logical channel queue, wherein the allocated portion is limited by the traffic shaping rate associated with the selected logical channel queue, by the data available for transmission in the selected logical channel queue, and by the data transmission capacity, repeatedly consider a next highest priority logical channel queue to select and allocate, until at least one of;
the data transmission capacity is exhausted, and each one of the plurality of logical channel queues is considered, and thereafterallocate a remaining portion, if any, of the data transmission capacity to one or more of the logical channel queues having data for transmission, selected in priority order; and a radio transceiver for transmitting and receiving data, wherein the radio transceiver transmits the data according to the link controller allocation. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
