Abstract: A method of controlling uplink multiple input multiple output transmission between user equipment and a base station of a wireless communications network, user equipment and a computer program product are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: identifying whether insufficient capacity exists on a primary uplink stream to carry pending uplink data packets; and if insufficient capacity exists, preventing establishment of a secondary uplink stream when it is determined that pending uplink data packets which would not be carried by the primary uplink stream would under-utilize the secondary uplink stream. In this way, the disproportionate interference and consumption of resources that would otherwise result from the establishment of a secondary stream in order to carry relatively little data is avoided which reduces the resources utilized, increases power efficiency and minimizes interference.
