Abstract:
1. A method comprising: for each group in a plurality of groups, determining, by a mobile device, an aggregate data flow for the group, where the each group in the plurality of groups comprises at least one logical channel flow, wherein determining the aggregate data flow comprises summing an amount of data in data flows of each of the at least one logical channel flow; for the each group in the plurality of groups, comparing, by the mobile device, the determined aggregate data flow of the group with at least one threshold value to obtain an indication value, wherein comparing the each group in the plurality of groups obtains a plurality of indication values; and generating, by the mobile device, a signal comprising the plurality of indication values, where the generated signal is for transmission from the mobile device to a base station and where the signal comprises at least two indication value fields, and where each indication value field in the at least two indication value fields comprises at least one bit corresponding to an indication value of the plurality of indication values.
