Abstract:
Method for handling data flows in a telecommunication device, in which method the handling of data to be transmitted proceeds according to a protocol stack having a L3 layer and a MAC layer, comprising between the top of the L3 layer and the bottom of the MAC layer the steps ofa) demultiplexing an L3 layer flow of data to be transmitted into a number of component data flows, each component data flow having a certain Quality of Service requirement, b) arranging the component data flows into groups where the Quality of Service requirement of each component data flow in a group is similar to the Quality of Service requirements of the other component data flows belonging to the same group, c) multiplexing the component data flows groupwise into multiplexed data flows and d) outputting the multiplexed data flows to the MAC layer.
