Abstract
A control message prospectively indicates a need of a communication device sending a data packet of a first class of data employing radio resources. The radio resources are reserved at least for the first class of data.
Claims19
A communication device, comprising:
- a wireless interface configured to transceive data on a channel of a wireless network,
- a memory configured to store information indicating first radio resources on the channel reserved for a first class of data and second radio resources on the channel reserved for a second class of data, the first radio resources and the second radio resources being shared between the communication device and a further communication device, and
- at least one processor configured to:
- select the first radio resources for sending a data packet of second class of data based on the stored information and a traffic load on the channel in the second radio resources;
- and
- send, via the wireless interface on the channel, the data packet of the second class of data employing the first radio resources.

A method performed by a communication device, the method comprising:
- selecting first radio resources for sending a data packet of a second class of data based on stored information and a traffic load on a channel in second radio resources of the channel, wherein the stored information indicates first radio resources on the channel are reserved for a first class of data and the second radio resources on the channel are reserved for the second class of data, the first radio resources and the second radio resources being shared between the communication device and a further communication device;
- and
- sending, via a wireless interface of the communication device on the channel, the data packet of the second class of data employing the first radio resources.
An access node of a wireless network, comprising:
- a wireless interface configured to transceive data on a channel of the wireless network;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- prospectively allocate, on the channel and in a shared manner, radio resources reserved for a first class of data and a second class of data to a communication device and to a further communication device;
- receive, via the wireless interface from the communication device, a capability control message, the capability control message indicating a capability of the communication device to generate and send the first class of data and the second class of data;
- receive, via the wireless interface from the further communication device, a further capability control message, the further capability control message indicating a capability of the further communication device to generate and send the first class of data and the second class of data;
- and
- allocate, on the channel and in a shared manner, radio resources to the communication device and the further communication device based on a determination that that the capability control message positively indicates the capability of the communication device to generate and send the first class of data and that the further capability control message negatively indicates the capability of the further communication device to generate and send the first class of data and positively indicates the capability of the further communication device to generate and send a second class of data.

A method performed by an access node comprising a wireless interface configured to transceive data on a channel of the wireless network, the method comprising:
- prospectively allocating, on the channel and in a shared manner, radio resources reserved for a first class of data and a second class of data to a communication device and to a further communication device;
- receiving, via the wireless interface from the communication device, a capability control message, the capability control message indicating a capability of the communication device to generate and send the first class of data and the second class of data;
- receiving, via the wireless interface from the further communication device, a further capability control message, the further capability control message indicating a capability of the further communication device to generate and send the first class of data and the second class of data;
- and
- allocating, on the channel and in a shared manner, radio resources to the communication device and the further communication device based on a determination that that the capability control message positively indicates the capability of the communication device to generate and send the first class of data and that the further capability control message negatively indicates the capability of the further communication device to generate and send the first class of data and positively indicates the capability of the further communication device to generate and send a second class of data.
