Claim:
1. Soft buffer management circuitry for use in a device of a wireless communication system, the circuitry comprising: input circuitry to receive from transceiver circuitry in the device, prioritisation information corresponding to an aggregated carrier comprising a plurality of configured component carriers that respectively correspond to a plurality of configured serving cells on an uplink or downlink; control circuitry to control storage in a soft buffer of soft channel bits for a decoding process corresponding to two or more of the plurality of configured component carriers by prioritising allocation of storage locations in the soft buffer depending upon a carrier index value corresponding to a respective component carrier, the carrier index value depending upon the prioritisation information, wherein the device is to store received soft channel bits corresponding to a range of at least w C is a number of code blocks, N
