Abstract

A method for matching a data rate of simultaneous radio transmissions of data for services over a connection between a base station and a subscriber station. The method includes determining a service-specific rate matching factor for one of the services based on a steady-state rate matching factor and a dynamic rate matching factor. The dynamic connection-oriented rate matching factor is based on the steady-state matching factor. The dynamic-connection oriented rate matching factor matches a sum of a volume of data for the services over the connection to a volume of data available in a next frame of data. The method also includes compressing or expanding the data for the one of the services based on the corresponding service-specific rate matching factor.
