The invention relates to a method of allocating resources in the uplink of
a wireless communication network supporting real-time packet data
services by utilizing a centralized resource allocation module and a
plurality of radio terminals. The method includes generating data blocks
at the radio terminals and transmitting them as frames to the resource
allocation module. The frames include an indication of the number of data
blocks stored in a data queue of the radio terminal and the number of
data blocks being generated by the data block source. The resource
allocation module allocates resources to each radio terminal based on the
indication transmitted by each radio terminal.
