Abstract:
1. A method for transferring enhanced uplink (EU) data implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising: storing EU data in a buffer of the WTRU, wherein the EU data is associated with a plurality of data flows, wherein the plurality of data flows are associated with a plurality of priority classes; transmitting an EU data transmission request message over an EU channel including traffic volume measurement (TVM) information, wherein the TVM information includes both an indication of an amount of EU data stored in the buffer and an indication of an amount of EU data stored in the buffer associated with one of the plurality of data flows, wherein the EU data transmission request message is transmitted in an EU medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) along with allowed EU data in a same EU MAC PDU; receiving an EU data scheduling message; determining whether the EU data scheduling message allows for the amount of EU data stored in the buffer to be transmitted; and transmitting a portion of the EU data stored in the buffer on a condition that the EU data scheduling message does not allow all of the EU data stored in the buffer to be transmitted, wherein a portion of the EU data is transmitted with TVM information in a same EU MAC PDU.
