Abstract
Techniques for transmitting data by a power-limited user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system are described. The UE may transmit data of different types on one or more carriers and may be power limited. In some aspects the UE may prioritize the data to transmit based on the priorities of the different data types the priorities of carriers on which the data is transmitted and/or other criteria. In one design the UE may obtain data to transmit on at least one carrier for the uplink. The UE may determine that it is power limited for transmission on the at least one carrier. The UE may prioritize the data to transmit based on at least one criterion. The UE may allocate its available transmit power to the prioritized data and may transmit the prioritized data at the allocated transmit power.
