摘要

A method for controlling rate matching among different channels used to deliver services via a mobile terminal, said method comprising the steps of: singnaling from a network to the mblile terminal, a plurality of relative offset keasures associated with the different channels; and bit rate matching, within selected one of the mobile terminal and the network, the different channels to aphysicalo channel using predefined rules and the plurality of relative offset measures, WHEREIN EACH CHANNEL SUPPORTS AT LEAST ONE OF THE SERVICES THAT ARE MULTIPLEXED ONTO THE PHYSICAL CHANNELO WHICH SUPPORTS ALL OF THTH SERVICES THAT ARE MULTIPLEXED ONTO THE PHYSICAL CHANNEL WHICH SUPPORTS ALL OF THE SERVICES CURRENTLY IN USE BY THE MOBILE TERMINAL.
