First Claim
1. A communication system comprising:
- a communication station for communicating with another communication station via at least two communications connections, the communication station being arranged to allocate transmit power to each of the at least two connections in dependence on connection quality, the communication station being arranged to;
transmit data over a connection of a first type with a first transmit power level and transmit data over a connection of a second type with a second transmit power level;
derive an indication of connection quality;
determine if the connection quality is below a predetermined quality level; and
in response to the connection quality being below the predetermined quality level, preferentially allocate transmit power to the connection of the first type.

Abstract
A communication station for communicating with another communication station via at least two communications connections, the communication station being arranged to allocate transmit power to each of the at least two connections in dependence on connection quality, the communication station being arranged to: transmit data over a connection of a first type with a first transmit power level and transmit data over a connection of a second type with a second transmit power level; derive an indication of connection quality; determine if the connection quality is below a predetermined quality level; and in response to the connection quality being below the predetermined quality level, preferentially allocate transmit power to the connection of the first type, the quality level preferably being determined from a codec mode instruction for the transmit direction when a multi-rate speech codec is used.

15. A method for allocating transmit power in a communication station, the communication station being arranged to communicate with another communication station via at least two communications connections and being arranged to allocate transmit power to each of the at least two connections in dependence on connection quality, the method comprising:
-
transmitting data over a connection of a first type with a first transmit power level and transmitting data over a connection of a second type with a second transmit power level;
deriving an indication of connection quality;
determining if the connection quality is below a predetermined quality level; and
in response to the connection quality being below the predetermined quality level, preferentially allocating transmit power to the connection of the first type.
