Multiplexing channels by a medium access controller
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A wireless communication apparatus comprising:
- a queue and a device;
wherein the device produces data for a plurality of channels including at least one common control channel (CCCH), at least one dedicated control channel (DCCH) and at least one dedicated traffic channel (DTCH);
wherein each of the plurality of channels is associated with a priority and a dynamically adjusted parameter which indicates a size limit of an amount of data for multiplexing for that channel;
wherein the size limit is based on requirements of the channel and the requirements of the plurality of channels differ;
wherein the device multiplexes the data of the plurality of channels based on the priority for transmission over a shared channel;
wherein hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) control information is transmitted on the shared channel and the H-ARQ control information is transmitted on the shared channel regardless of the priority of the plurality of channels.

Abstract
A code division multiple access (CDMA) communication device comprises a medium access controller (MAC) configured to receive data from a plurality of channels. Each channel is associated with a priority and an identifier. The MAC is further configured to multiplex the data of the plurality of channels for transmission over a CDMA channel based on the priority.

5. A method comprising:
-
producing, by a wireless communication apparatus comprising a queue and a device, data for a plurality of channels including at least one common control channel (CCCH), at least one dedicated control channel (DCCH) and at least one dedicated traffic channel (DTCH);
wherein each of the plurality of channels is associated with a priority and a dynamically adjusted parameter which indicates a size limit of an amount of data for multiplexing for that channel;
wherein the size limit is based on requirements of the channel and the requirements of the plurality of channels differ; andmultiplexing based on the priority, by the wireless communication apparatus, the data of the plurality of channels for transmission over a shared channel;
wherein hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) control information is transmitted on the shared channel and the H-ARQ control information is transmitted on the shared channel regardless of the priority of the plurality of channels. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
