Communication terminal and method with prioritized control information
First Claim
1. A communication terminal for communicating with a base station, the communication terminal comprising:
- a priority controller configured;
to control a priority of control information to be transmitted to the base station in accordance with a priority of medium access control (MAC) control information which indicates a priority individually assigned to plural MAC control elements and a priority individually assigned to plural signaling radio bearer (SRB) elements for transmitting radio resource control (RRC) control information, wherein the priority of the MAC control information has been previously determined; and
to generate a transmission message in accordance with the control of the priority control section in consideration with the priority of control information; and
a transmitter configured to transmit the transmission message to the base station.

Abstract
A communication terminal adjusts the transmission timing of data transmitted to a base station so that the base station can receive the data within a predetermined delay time. The communication terminal includes a reception section 701 for receiving priority of MAC control information transmitted from the base station, a priority control section 703 for defining the relationship between the priority of the MAC control information and priority assigned to DRB and SRB, and a transmission message generation section 704 for controlling so as to transmit information having a high priority early in accordance with the relationship between the priorities defined by the priority control section 703. According to the communication terminal, a comparison is made between the priority of the MAC control information and the priority assigned to the DRB and the SRB, whereby it is made possible to control what information is to be transmitted as desired.
