Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting, by a communications unit, packets of a service having quality of service (QoS) requirements, comprising the steps of: receiving QoS parameters associated with a service including at least one of delay, maximum bit rate, maximum data unit size and average bit rate, mapping the QoS parameters to radio protocol parameters including at least one of a priority slot interval, a priority slot phase, a packet duration and modulation format for a radio channel; transmitting the packets on the radio channel according to the mapped radio protocol parameters; deriving the priority slot interval for a time critical service from the delay of the time critical service wherein the priority slot interval of the time critical service less than to the delay; and establishing a first priority slot interval associated with a first application that overlaps a second priority slot phase associated with a second application wherein transmission of the packets of the first and second application substantially occur in different timeslots of the radio channel.
