Claim Text:
1. A method performed in a user equipment of a mobile communication network for selecting an output stream for bits of a bit set, the method comprising: obtaining indicators of how much transmission power is allowed to be used for each one of two output streams; calculating a maximum number of bits that can be provided to each one of the two output streams in a preconfigured time period based on the indicators; determining which one of the two output streams is to be a primary output stream and which one of the two output streams is to be a secondary output stream; when the maximum number of bits that can be provided to the primary output stream is greater than or equal to the number of bits in the bit set, supplying the bit set to the primary output stream; when the maximum number of bits that can be provided to the primary output stream is less than the number of bits in the bit set, filling the primary output stream with bits from the bit set and providing the surplus of the bit set to the secondary output stream; wherein obtaining indicators of how much transmission power is allowed to be used for each one of two output streams comprises: when a maximum transmission power assigned by the user equipment is less than a combined transmission power allowed to be used for the two output streams, reducing at least one of the indicators in order to correspond to the maximum transmission power assigned by the user equipment; and proportionally splitting the maximum transmission power between the indicators based on a value of the indicators.
