Abstract
The invention concerns a method of managing coexisting packet streams () in a wireless communication system, and a corresponding controller and a mobile terminal. A first packet stream () of the coexisting packet streams () requires transmission resources of the wireless communication system at fixed time intervals, and a second packet stream () of the coexisting packet streams () requires transmission resources of the wireless communication system at dynamically determined time intervals. A schedule defining allocations of transmission resources for the first packet stream () is set up. A request for an initial grant of transmission resources for a transmission of a data packet () of the second packet stream () is issued. In the process of allocating transmission resources to the second packet stream (), the controller analyzes the schedule of transmission resources allocated to the first packet stream () and thereby determines whether a retransmission () of the data packet () associated with the second packet stream () is possible to collide with a transmission of a data packet () associated with the first packet stream () according to the schedule. The controller transmits a parameter specifying a number N of retransmissions () possible without such collision as part of the initial grant of transmission resources to the mobile terminal.
