Abstract:
1. A method for multiplexing data comprising: receiving data over a plurality of logical channels; mapping the plurality of logical channels to a plurality of dedicated medium access control (MAC-d) flows; establishing an elimination criteria for the plurality of MAC-d flows to be multiplexed into an enhanced medium access control (MAC-e) protocol data unit (PDU) based, at least in part, on an excess power state of the WTRU and a transmission power characteristic of each of the MAC-d flows; eliminating one or more MAC-d flows from being multiplexed into the MAC-e PDU based, at least in part, on the elimination criteria; multiplexing the plurality of MAC-d flows into the MAC-ePDU based, at least in part, on a priority associated with each of the plurality of the logical channels mapped to the plurality of MAC-d flows; and transmitting the MAC-e PDU over an uplink transport channel.
