Claim:
1. A method for use by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for enhanced uplink (EU) transmission, the method comprising: transmitting a scheduling request message to a Node-B, wherein the scheduling request message comprises at least an identification of a logical channel having an associated priority, wherein the logical channel is mapped to an enhanced dedicated channel, and wherein the scheduling request message comprises an indication of an amount of EU data associated with the logical channel having the associated priority, wherein the scheduling request message is a request for uplink resources from the Node-B, and wherein the scheduling request message is transmitted in a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU), and wherein the MAC PDU includes information in a header of the MAC PDU that identifies that the scheduling request message is included in the MAC PDU; receiving information from the Node-B that grants a scheduled EU data transmission; transmitting EU data over the enhanced dedicated channel based on the received information; and transmitting an updated scheduling request message on a condition that additional EU data is available for transmission.
