Method and arrangement for choosing a channel coding and interleaving scheme for certain types of packet data connections

A system comprising:

• one or more devices configured to:
• receive a request for a specific communication connection with a mobile station, wherein the request corresponds to setting up a new radio bearer for the specific communication connection or changing the characteristics of an existing radio bearer for the specific communication connection, wherein the request comprises a set of desired quality of service parameters corresponding to the specific communication connection;
• allocate a channel coding scheme, an interleaving scheme, or some combination thereof to the specific communication connection based at least partially on at least one quality of service parameter of the set of desired quality of service parameters;
• and
• transmit information corresponding to the channel coding scheme, the interleaving scheme, or some combination thereof to a base station, the mobile station, or some combination thereof for applying the channel coding scheme, the interleaving scheme, or some combination thereof for use in the specific communication connection.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one control processor;
• and
• at least one computer program code, the at least one computer program code configured to be executed by the at least one control processor to direct the apparatus to perform at least the following:
• communicate a request message to a device, wherein the request message is operable to:
• request establishment of a communication connection, request that the communication connection be changed, or some combination thereof;
• and
• indicate at least one requested quality of service parameter associated with the communication connection, wherein the at least one requested quality of service parameter facilitates selecting an interleaving scheme;
• receive from the device information corresponding to the interleaving scheme selected using the at least one requested quality of service parameter;
• and
• apply the interleaving scheme to the communication connection.
