Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate providing quality of service for similar priority logical channels at least in part by assigning dynamic priority levels to the logical channels to allow certain logical channels to be assigned resources before other logical channels. Dynamic priority levels can be assigned based at least in part on a total accumulated used bytes of a given logical channel scaled by a prioritized bit rate of the logical channel. Thus, logical channels with a lower number of total accumulated used bytes scaled by the prioritized bit rate can be assigned higher priority to ensure resources are assigned to the logical channels. Moreover, the dynamic priority levels can be normalized to align the dynamic priority levels within certain values so as not to interfere with other logical channels of different assigned priority.

Abstract: An apparatus for wireless communication includes a processing system. The processing system is configured to perform a first set of functions in a first thread. The first set of functions includes obtaining second data from a second thread and providing first data to the second thread to facilitate construction of an uplink packet in the second thread. The processing system is further configured to perform a second set of functions in the second thread. The second set of functions includes obtaining the first data, constructing the uplink packet based on the first data, and providing the second data to the first thread to facilitate the performing of the first set of functions.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for a centrally managed handoff comprising originating a service using a first technology and connecting the service using the first technology; activating a second technology that is different from the first technology; receiving a first request for the handoff from the first technology to the second technology; sending a second request for the handoff from the first technology to the second technology, wherein the second request relates to the first request; receiving an acknowledgement that the second technology is available; implementing the handoff from the first technology to the second technology; and determining that the handoff is successfully implemented before terminating the first technology.
