FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: method involves performing transport format combination selection so as to maximise transmission of higher priority data. When scheduled and/or non-scheduled grants are taken into account for a transmission time interval, data of a given priority belonging to a scheduled MAC-d flow are given precedence over any lower priority data, whether belonging to a scheduled or a non-scheduled MAC-d flow; and data of a given priority belonging to a non-scheduled MAC-d flow are given precedence over any lower priority data, whether belonging to a scheduled or a non-scheduled MAC-d flow. If the transmission contains any scheduled data, the size of a selected MAC-e protocol data unit is made not to exceed the total of all non-scheduled grants which are applicable for transmission in the transmission time interval; a maximum number of scheduled bits based on a serving grant, after adjustment for compressed frames, and a power offset; and the size of triggered scheduling information, if any.
EFFECT: high efficiency of selecting transport format combination.
