Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium, for estimating throughput from user equipment to an eNodeB, storing instructions which when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
determine a data amount in a first buffer;
calculate an estimated throughput needed to satisfy the data amount in the first buffer;
determine whether the estimated throughput is sufficient to service the data stored at the first buffer;
determine, in response to the throughput being determined to be insufficient to service the data, whether a counter value for a counter is less than a threshold value;
empty, in response to the counter value being above the threshold, a second buffer;
in response to the counter value being less than the threshold value:
pad the second buffer with a padding amount;
incrementing the counter value; and
iteratively repeating the method by returning to the calculating with the incremented counter value.
