A method and system that enables proportionately multiplexing a plurality of data stream into one data stream is disclosed. A mobile station has applications that produce separate data streams. Example applications include voice, signaling, E-mail and web applications. The data streams are combined by a multiplexer module into one data stream called the transport stream. The transport stream is sent over the reverse link to a BTS. The multiplexer module combines the data streams onto the transport stream according to their relative proportions and priorities.

1. A method for multiplexing a plurality of data streams onto one data stream comprising:creating a list of queues, each queue representing a data stream and having a length inversely related to a proportion value of the data stream, wherein each data stream comprises at least one frame; incrementing at each frame each queue by the inverse of the proportion value; creating an array of length equal to the sum of all queue lengths; inserting into the array, until the array is filled, an identifier of the data stream corresponding to a filled queue; and emptying the filled queue. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising continually looping through the array and transmitting a frame from the data stream corresponding to the identifier at the head of the array.3. The method of claim 1, further comprising looping through the array when a frame is due to be sent and transmitting the frame from the data stream corresponding to the identifier at the head of the array.4. A wireless communication system, comprising:a subscriber unit having a plurality of applications residing in a memory and a multiplexer, each application producing a data stream as input to the multiplexer, wherein each data stream comprises at least one frame, and the multiplexer uniformly distributes frames from the data streams onto a single stream based on the data streams' proportion value; a base station coupled to the subscriber unit and configured to receive the single stream; and a base station controller coupled to a base station. 5. A method for multiplexing a plurality of data streams onto one data stream comprising:means for creating a list of queues, each queue representing a data stream and having a length inversely related to a proportion value of the data stream, wherein each data stream comprises at least one frame; means for incrementing at each frame each queue by the inverse of the proportion value; means for creating an array of length equal to the sum of all queue lengths; means for inserting into the array, until the array is filled, an identifier of the data stream corresponding to a filled queue; and means for emptying the filled queue. means for receiving by a multiplexer, the plurality of data streams; and means for distributing uniformly by the multiplexer, a plurality of data streams onto a single data stream based on a proportional value; and means for receiving by a base station, the single data stream.
