Claim:
A method of allocating resources for a plurality of logical channels in a wireless communication system, each of the logical channels having a corresponding priority, performed by a user equipment, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of uplink grants from a base station, the plurality of uplink grants corresponding to a plurality of Medium Access Control Protocol Data Units (MAC PDUs), each of plurality of MAC PDUs being transmitted in a corresponding one of a plurality of transport blocks in one Transmission Time Interval (TTI) via a plurality of uplink component carriers; determining a total resource by summing available resources of the plurality of uplink grants corresponding to the size of the plurality of MAC PDUs that will be transmitted within the one TTI via the plurality of uplink component carriers; allocating a first amount of data associated with each of the plurality of logical channels to the total resource in order of priority of the plurality of logical channels, wherein the first amount of data for each of the plurality of logical channels is based on a prioritized bit rate (PBR) for each of the plurality of logical channels; and allocating remaining resources for a second amount of data associated with each of the plurality of logical channels to each of the plurality of logical channels in order of priority of the plurality of logical channels, wherein the second amount of data associated with each of the plurality of logical channels is in addition to the first amount of data.
