16. A wireless base station, comprising:
a priority module configured to:
receive first uplink data from a first user equipment (UE) and a second uplink data from a second UE,
receive a bulk grant from a communication node upstream of the wireless base station, the bulk grant identifying resources available to the wireless base station for transmitting data from the wireless base station to the communication node upstream of the wireless base station, and
group at least a first subset of the first uplink data and a first subset of the second uplink data into a combined package of data that may be accommodated by the resources available to the wireless base station for transmitting data from the wireless base station to the communication node upstream of the wireless base station; and
a transceiver configured to send the combined package of data from the wireless base station to the communication node upstream of the wireless base station.
