Claim 15:
16. The method according to claim 15, wherein the interworking coordination entity performs at least one of:
obtaining information about physical layer transmission performance of each transmission entity;
determining how much payload of a packet data unit being constructed for transmission by one transmission entity is suitable for filling with data from the other transmission entity and informing the other transmission entity of this;
obtaining information from logical channel prioritization functions about data availability;
requesting data stored in a buffer of one transmission entity for transferral to the other transmission entity for transmission by the other transmission entity;
coordinating quality of service classes between the different radio access technologies;
tagging data retrieved from buffers with an identifier that allows association of the data after transmission over the air; and
forwarding data received from one transmission entity to the other transmission entity.
