Claim:
1. A method comprising: determining, by a user equipment (UE) configured with multiple carriers, whether a first condition which defines that transmission data on one carrier among the multiple carriers reaches maximum transmission data the one carrier is met; determining, by the UE, whether a second condition which defines that transmission power of the UE is capable of improving data transmission rate of the one carrier is met; determining, by the UE, whether a third condition which defines that the one carrier together with at least one of other carriers among the multiple carriers are incapable of completing transmitting total buffer status data in a same delay time period is met; and determining, by the UE, whether resources allocated to the UE on the one carrier are sufficient in accordance with results of the determining of the first, second, and third conditions; wherein in the determining whether the second condition is met, if a Medium Access Control (MAC)-i or MAC-is is configured, the determining determines that the second condition is met in case that the transmission power of the UE allows transmission of at least additional 32 bits on the one carrier.
