1. A method for use by a user equipment, the method comprising:
- determining transport format combinations (TFCs) that are available for at a dedicated channel (DCH) based on at least a maximum transmit power for the user equipment;
selecting a TFC from the available TFCs for the DCH;
based on a remaining power after the TFC selecting, determining enhanced uplink TFCs (E-TFCs) that are available for an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH);
selecting an E-TFC for the E-DCH from the available E-TFCs; and
transmitting the DCH as formatted per the selected TFC and the E-DCH as formatted per the selected E-TFC.

Abstract
A user equipment determines transport format combinations (TFCs) that are available for at a dedicated channel (DCH) based on at least a maximum transmit power for the user equipment. A TFC is selected from the available TFCs for the DCH. Based on a remaining power after the TFC selecting, enhanced uplink TFCs (E-TFCs) are selected that are available for an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH). An E-TFC is selected for the E-DCH from the available E-TFCs.
