A method performed at an access terminal of wirelessly communicating, said method comprising: storing data to be transmitted, the transmission being pursuant to a grant of permission to send the stored data; wirelessly transmitting a request for permission to send the stored data over a plurality of carriers, the plurality of carriers comprising an anchor carrier; receiving a communication granting the permission to send the stored data; generating periodically, in response to occurrence of a predetermined event, scheduling information for the plurality of carriers that are used by the access terminal based at least in part on the stored data, comprising: generating a first set of scheduling information bits identifying an power headroom for the anchor carrier; generating a second set of scheduling information bits identifying queue information, the queue information comprising information regarding an amount of the stored data and comprising a priority or quality of service of the stored data and comprising an amount of time that the data has been stored; generating a third set of scheduling information bits identifying an power headroom for the another carrier than the anchor carrier; wirelessly transmitting the generated scheduling information over the anchor carrier; and wirelessly transmitting a portion of the generated scheduling information over one or more other carriers than the anchor carrier of the plurality of carriers. storing data to be transmitted, the transmission being pursuant to a grant of permission to send the stored data; wirelessly transmitting a request for permission to send the stored data over a plurality of carriers, the plurality of carriers comprising an anchor carrier; receiving a communication granting the permission to send the stored data; generating periodically, in response to occurrence of a predetermined event, scheduling information for the plurality of carriers that are used by the access terminal based at least in part on the stored data, comprising: generating a first set of scheduling information bits identifying an power headroom for the anchor carrier; generating a second set of scheduling information bits identifying queue information, the queue information comprising information regarding an amount of the stored data and comprising a priority or quality of service of the stored data and comprising an amount of time that the data has been stored; generating a third set of scheduling information bits identifying an power headroom for the another carrier than the anchor carrier; generating a first set of scheduling information bits identifying an power headroom for the anchor carrier; generating a second set of scheduling information bits identifying queue information, the queue information comprising information regarding an amount of the stored data and comprising a priority or quality of service of the stored data and comprising an amount of time that the data has been stored; generating a third set of scheduling information bits identifying an power headroom for the another carrier than the anchor carrier; wirelessly transmitting the generated scheduling information over the anchor carrier; and wirelessly transmitting a portion of the generated scheduling information over one or more other carriers than the anchor carrier of the plurality of carriers.
