Abstract:
1. A method of scheduling uplink transmissions in a wireless communications system comprising: receiving a first signal from a first data bearer, the first signal originating from a first persona for connecting with a first network; receiving a second signal from a second data bearer, the second signal originating from a second persona for connecting with a second network different from the first network; receiving first inputs regarding uplink grants; receiving second inputs regarding a buffer status; receiving third inputs regarding QoS requirements, wherein the third inputs include QoS priority level information; receiving fourth inputs regarding logical channel group priority; receiving persona significance information regarding the first and second data bearers; using the first inputs, the second inputs, the third inputs, and the fourth inputs in conjunction with the persona significance information to determine the priority between the first data bearer and the second data bearer and to grant priority to a data bearer with the higher persona significance information unless the data bearer with the lower persona significance information has a QoS priority level and packet delay budget (PDB) such that the lower persona significance information has a more stringent delay requirement than the higher persona significance information; wherein the persona significance information comprises an indication of the significance order of the first persona and the second persona.
