Patent ID: 7710911

Claim:
A method for supporting enhanced uplink (EU) transmissions, implemented in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), comprising: providing, by the WTRU, a set of hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) processes for supporting enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) transmission; in response to signaling from a radio network controller (RNC), received by the WTRU, for a dedicated channel medium access control (MAC-d) flow, limiting the E-DCH H-ARQ processes used to transmit the MAC-d flow; and scheduling, by the WTRU, H-ARQ processing of MAC-d flows based on a priority of the MAC-d flows; in response to signaling from the RNC, received by the WTRU, allocating at least one H-ARQ process reserved for use by a MAC-d flow; and selecting, by the WTRU, transmissions of a data transmission priority class associated with the MAC-d flow using the at least one allocated H-ARQ process reserved for the MAC-d flow.
