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.
