7. A network with a first plurality of logic channels associated a second plurality of transport channels, wherein the transport channels transmit transport blocks formed from pocket units of the logic channels and have plurality of valid transport format combinations, the combinations indicate the transport blocks for transmission on each transport channel, wherein a selection algorithm is used to select the transport format combinations, wherein a first allocation sequence is provided for the selection algorithm, by means of which packet units of the logic channels are allocated to the transport channels, wherein the allocation takes place in accordance with the following criteria for the individual logic channels:
-
a) only so many packet units are allocated each time that the sum of the total number of packet units allocated to the respective transport channel, also taking into account logic channels already considered and imaged on the same transport channel, corresponds to a transport format belonging to a valid transport format combination, b) the number of the allocated packet units is chosen such each time that it comes as close as possible to a minimum bit rate obtaining for the respective logic channel, while the criterion a) takes precedence over the criterion b), and wherein a second allocation sequence is provided for allocating further packet units. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
