Abstract

The invention relates to a scheduling of data transmissions in multi-carrier data transmission systems, e.g. multi-carrier W-CDMA systems. A method embodiment of performing one or more data transmissions in a multi-carrier data transmission network (100) comprises, in a transmitting device (102), the steps of requesting transmission resources from a resource granting device (106); receiving, in response to the request (120), one or more transmission grants (gr1-gr3) from the resource granting device (106), wherein each transmission grant (gr1) indicates a data rate (dr1) and a data class (CI1) granted for a specific transmission carrier (Cr1); and initiating one or more transmissions (122-126) of data associated with one or more of the granted data classes on one or more of the granted transmission carriers.
