Patent ID: 7613145

Claim:
A method of uplink resource scheduling by fast transport format combination set controlling in the base station of a wireless network, the method comprising: the base station storing a transport format combination set, wherein resource request information from one or more user equipment is received, and wherein resource is distributed to each user equipment according to the resource request information, wherein the transport format combination set is divided into transport format combination subsets, wherein each transport format combination subset is the set of transport format combinations with the same data transmission rate or the same transmission power; generating a first pointing information that indicates a transport format combination subset by selecting a proper transport format combination subset with the same data transmission rate or the same transmission power based on the resource distributed to the user equipment, including the first pointing information in a resource authorization information and then sending the resource authorization information to the user equipment; and receiving a second pointing information from the user equipment, the second pointing information denoting a proper transport format combination selected by the user equipment from the transport format combination subset indicated by the first pointing information according to actual requirements at the user equipment, such as a buffer information and/or a quality of service information of MAC-d flows.
