Transmitting from a mobile terminal to a telecommunication network data stored in a plurality of queues, each queue having a respective transmission priority, includes setting the data in each of the queues to be either primary data or secondary data, or a combination of primary data and secondary data. The data may be transmitted from the queues in an order in dependence upon the priority of the queue and whether the data in that queue are primary data or secondary data. Resources for data transmission may be allocated such that the primary data of each of the queues are transmitted at a minimum predetermined rate and such that the secondary data of each of the queues are transmitted at a maximum predetermined rate, greater than the minimum predetermined rate.

Prioritising data transmission

The mobile telecommunications network (n) has at least one mobile terminal () registered therewith. The network (n) has an active communication state with the mobile terminal () and an inactive communication state with the mobile terminal (). Means Q; V for calculating an indication of the movement of the mobile terminal () within the network (n) in each of the states is provided. One embodiment is characterized in that, when the communication changes from a first of the states to a second of the states, the mobility indication calculated in the first of the states is used in the second of the states. In another embodiment, the indication of movement of the mobile terminal is calculated periodically at a time interval (CMCL). A value (DRX Cycle Length) which determines this time interval (CMCL) is transmitted by the network (n) to the mobile terminal (). This second embodiment is characterized by including means for varying the time interval (CMCL) in dependence upon an indication of movement of the terminal ().

A method for calculating a RoT threshold value in a communication system in which user terminals communicate with a base transceiver station, comprising the steps of providing a RoT minimum, maximum and margin, acquiring the maximum nominal transmit power of each user terminal, detecting the transmitted power of each user terminal, calculating the power difference between the maximum nominal transmit power and the transmitted power for each user terminal, and processing this power difference calculated for each user terminal, the RoT margin and the minimum and maximum RoT threshold to calculate the RoT threshold value.
