METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTING ENHANCED DEDICATED CHANNEL TRANSPORT FORMAT COMBINATION IN CELL_FACH STATE AND IDLE MODE
First Claim
1. A method for estimating a power headroom in Cell_FACH state and idle mode, the method comprising:
- a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) receiving a power offset value;
the WTRU transmitting a random access channel (RACH) preamble; and
the WTRU estimating a power headroom based on a WTRU maximum transmit power, the power offset value and a last transmitted RACH preamble transmit power.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for selecting an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) transport format combination (E-TFC) in Cell_FACH state and idle mode are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) transmits a random access channel (RACH) preamble and receives an index to an E-DCH resource in response to the RACH preamble. The WTRU may estimate a power headroom based on the maximum WTRU transmit power, power offset value, and the last successfully transmitted RACH preamble transmit power. The WTRU restricts an E-TFC based on the estimated power headroom, and selects an E-TFC based on a set of supported E-TFCs. The WTRU then generates, and transmits, a protocol data unit (PDU) based on the selected E-TFC.
