Abstract

A method for a user entity (UE) transmitting data said data being receivable by at least a serving node (B1) and a non serving node (B2); the user entity (UE) being adapted for receiving a first signal (ABS GRNT E-AGCH) (4, 6) from a serving node (B1) granting the user entity permission to transmit at a given signalling rate; the user entity (UE) being adapted for receiving a second signal (8) from a non-serving node (B2) instructing the user entity to limit its signalling rate (DOWN E-RGCH). The user entity (UE) is being adapted to transmit data packets and associating a third signal (HAPPY, 7) and the user entity (UE) is being adapted to transmit data packets and associating a fourth signal (NOT HAPPY, 1, 9) with the data packet transmission indicating the user entity wishing to being granted permission to use a higher signalling rate than it is currently being permitted to use by the serving node (B1). The user entity is being adapted for issuing a signalling rate limitation signal (UE RATE LMT, 9′) to the serving node, indicating the user entity having limited its signalling rate signal below the signalling rate granted to it by the serving node B. There is moreover provided a …
