Abstract
In one embodiment, a transmission resource for transmitting data from a number of applications in a multiple carrier communication system is managed. In this embodiment, an aggregate transmission resource available to the number of applications is determined, and the determined aggregated transmission resource is distributed to each carrier based on a load on each carrier. In another embodiment a potential transmission resource for each application on each carrier is determined, and a carrier transmission resource for each carrier is determined based on the determined potential transmission resource for each application on the carrier. Data from at least one of the applications is assigned to at least one of the carriers based on the transmission resource distributed to or determined for the carrier, and the assigned data is transmitted on the carrier.
