Patent ID: 7564867

Claim:
A method for enhanced uplink data transmission, comprising: independently generating, at a user equipment, a transport channel for each of a plurality of transmission modes, each transport channel having an associated transmission time interval (TTI) that is at least one of a sub-multiple and a multiple of 10 ms, the plurality of transmission modes including, a scheduled transmission mode in which both a time and rate of transmission for transmission by the user equipment is determined based on a received instruction from a base station, and an autonomous transmission mode in which only the rate of transmission for transmission by the user equipment is limited by the received instruction from the base station; multiplexing, by the user equipment, the generated transport channels to form a composite transport channel, the formed composite channel having one TTI, the TTI of the formed composite transport channel being equal to the minimum TTI of the TTIs associated with the independently generated transport channels; and mapping, by the user equipment, the composite transport channel onto a physical channel at a radio frame corresponding to the TTI of the composite transport channel.
