Abstract

Transmitting from a mobile terminal to a telecommunication network data stored in a plurality of queues, each queue having a respective transmission priority, includes setting the data in each of the queues to be either primary data or secondary data, or a combination of primary data and secondary data. The data may be transmitted from the queues in an order in dependence upon the priority of the queue and whether the data in that queue are primary data or secondary data. Resources for data transmission may be allocated such that the primary data of each of the queues are transmitted at a minimum predetermined rate and such that the secondary data of each of the queues are transmitted at a maximum predetermined rate, greater than the minimum predetermined rate.
