Abstract:
1. A method in a radio base station for allocating resources to a user equipment (UE), said UE having at least one buffer for buffering data to be sent to the radio base station and configured to receive signals from the radio base station for enabling the UE to transmit channel feedback information to the radio base station, said method comprising the steps of: predicting when the UE is scheduled to transmit a scheduling request for at least one resource; determining whether an allocation of a resource for the channel feedback information coincides with a resource for the scheduling request; and if it is determined that said allocation of the resource for the channel feedback information coincides with the resource for the scheduling request, down-prioritizing the allocation of the resource for the channel feedback information or requesting, in a message to the UE, the channel feedback information and a buffer status report about an amount of data available for transmission from the UE to said radio base station, wherein down-prioritizing comprises down-prioritizing the allocation of the resource for the channel feedback information when an estimated block error probability of a channel feedback information transmission exceeds a predefined threshold value.
