A method for matching a data rate of simultaneous radio transmissions of
data for services over a connection between a base station and a
subscriber station. The method includes determining a service-specific
rate matching factor for one of the services based on a steady-state rate
matching factor and a dynamic rate matching factor. The dynamic
connection-oriented rate matching factor is based on the steady-state
matching factor. The dynamic-connection oriented rate matching factor
matches a sum of a volume of data for the services over the connection to
a volume of data available in a next frame of data. The method also
includes compressing or expanding the data for the one of the services
based on the corresponding service-specific rate matching factor.
