Abstract
A method and node for uplink scheduling of a plurality of wireless devices in a communications network is provided. The method includes estimating, for each of a plurality of wireless devices, a buffer size corresponding to each of at least one radio bearer group (RBG), each of the at least one RBG being used by the wireless device to carry traffic via multiple bearers. The method further includes determining an uplink resource maximum allotment for each wireless device based, at least in part, on the estimated buffer sizes and a priority weight of each RBG used by the plurality of wireless devices. The priority weight of each RBG is based at least in part on quality of service (QoS) requirements of bearers carried by the RBG.
