Patent ID: 8179836

Claim:
A method of controlling transmissions of data via an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH), the method comprising: generating by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), a list of available transport format combinations (TFCs) based on a plurality of dedicated channel medium access control (MAC-d) flows, wherein the list of available TFCs is continuously updated by eliminating and recovering TFCs based on remaining E-DCH power, an E-DCH transport format combination set (TFCS), a power offset of a highest priority MAC-d flow that has E-DCH data to transmit, and a gain factor for each TFC; storing the list of available TFCs; selecting a TFC from the list of available TFCs based on the power offset; generating an enhanced uplink medium access control (MAC-e) protocol data unit (PDU) using the selected TFC; and forwarding the MAC-e PDU to a hybrid-automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) process for transmission.
