1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transmitter;
a receiver;
a processor; and
wherein:
the receiver and the processor are configured to receive, from a wireless network, information including a plurality of first values and queue limit information, wherein each of the plurality of first values is associated with at least one radio bearer;
the transmitter and the processor are configured to transmit a plurality of buffer occupancy indicators, wherein each buffer occupancy indicator is associated with at least one queue, wherein each queue is associated with at least one radio bearer;
the receiver and the processor are further configured, in response to the transmitted plurality of buffer occupancy indicators, to receive, from the wireless network, an uplink resource allocation;
the processor is further configured to determine, based on the received queue limit information, a limited number of queues to select for providing data for transmission;
the processor is further configured to provide data for transmission from the selected limited number of queues, wherein data from each of the selected limited number of queues is limited based on the first value associated with the selected queue; and
the transmitter and the processor are further configured to transmit the data provided by the selected limited number of queues in resources determined from the received uplink resource allocation.
