Abstract:
1. A method for a wireless transmit and receive unit (WTRU) to generate a radio link control (RLC) protocol data unit (PDU), the method comprising: determining a data field size for the RLC PDU, at the WTRU, based on a current enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) transport format combination (E-TFC) selection, a minimum RLC PDU size and an amount of data to be transmitted, wherein a RLC PDU size of the RLC PDU is less than the minimum RLC PDU size when the data to be transmitted is insufficient to create a RLC PDU of the minimum RLC PDU size, and wherein the RLC PDU size of the RLC PDU is greater than or equal to the minimum RLC PDU size when the data to be transmitted is sufficient to create a RLC PDU of the minimum RLC PDU size or greater; and generating, at the WTRU, the RLC PDU based on the determined data field size.
