Apparatuses and Methods for a Communication System

An apparatus for a communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• a processing system that comprises at least one data processor and at least one computer-readable memory storing a computer program, wherein the processing system is arranged to cause the apparatus to at least:
• determine a signal range class to be associated with one or more applications based at least on one or more signal range classes that are authorized by a network entity, wherein the signal range class is assigned a logical channel;
• cause two or more service data units received from the one or more applications to be multiplexed into a protocol data unit based on the signal range class associated with the one or more applications;
• and
• cause the protocol data unit to be processed via the logical channel associated with the signal range class.

An apparatus for a communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• a processing system that comprises at least one data processor and at least one computer-readable memory storing a computer program, wherein the processing system is arranged to cause the apparatus to at least:
• determine a logical channel of one or more logical channels to be associated with a signal range class of one or more signal range classes;
• and
• cause an indication of a logical channel associated with a signal range class of the one or more signal range classes to be transmitted to a mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal is configured to assign one or more applications to a signal range class of the one or more signal range classes.
