ABSTRACT:
A code division multiple access (CDMA) radio network controller (RNC) comprises a medium access controller-controlling/shared (MAC-c/sh) entity. The MAC-c/sh entity has a scheduling mechanism managing a forward access channel (FACH) resources. The scheduling mechanism schedules data for transfer over the FACH according to priority of the data and the data having an indicator of a priority of the data.
