Abstract
A method and system for managing the allocation of uplink transmission resources. A first subscriber device may communicate with a second subscriber device over a local communication link. The first subscriber device may also transmit data over an air interface to a radio access network (RAN) serving the first subscriber device, with the first subscriber device serving as a proxy between the second subscriber device and the RAN. In response to the data including first data originated by the first subscriber device and second data originated by the second subscriber device that is received by the first subscriber device from the second subscriber device over the local communication link, the first subscriber device may be arranged to apply a different transmission priority for the transmitting of the first data over the air interface than for the transmitting of the second data over the air interface.
