Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving one or more uplink data transfer parameters corresponding to multiple service flows from a base station with a remote station using an uplink (UL) map information element (IE) of an IEEE 802.16-compliant wireless communications protocol, wherein the UL map IE comprises at least a packet error ratio (PER) for the remote station to use for corresponding subsequent service flow transmissions to the base station; and selecting data to be transferred from the remote station to the base station according to the wireless communications protocol based, at least in part, on at least the PER from the UL map IE the one or more uplink data transfer parameters; and transmitting the selected data using two or more service flows, wherein the one or more uplink data transfer parameters differ between at least two of the two or more service flows.
