Claim:
1. A method of operating a wireless quality of service (QoS)-enabled IP network, comprising: defining at least one set of QoS attributes applicable to at least one logical channel queue, a set of QoS attributes comprising a traffic shaping rate and a priority; enabling communication between a base station and a mobile device over a wireless link comprising a plurality of logical channel queues, each of the plurality of logical channel queues associated with a defined set of QoS attributes of the at least one set of QoS attributes; enabling the base station to assign an uplink data transmission resource for the mobile device; enabling the mobile device to select, from the plurality of logical channel queues, a highest priority logical channel queue having data for transmission and whose traffic shaping rate of an associated set of QoS attributes is not satisfied; enabling the mobile device to allocate a portion of the uplink data transmission resource available to the mobile device, to the selected logical channel queue, wherein the allocated portion is limited by: enabling repeated consideration of a next highest priority logical channel queue for the enabled selection and enabled allocation, until at least one of: enabling the mobile device to allocate a remaining portion, if any, of the uplink data transmission resource to one or more of the plurality of logical channel queues having data for transmission, selected in priority order.
