FAST UPLINK DATA TRANSMISSION USING E-DCH ENHANCED RANDOM ACCESS WITHOUT A UE SPECIFIC E-RNTI
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving user plane data for transmitting to a wireless network;
generating a control message comprising the user plane data and a user equipment (UE) radio network temporary identifier (U-RNTI); and
transmitting the control message over common control resources provided by a Node B.

Abstract
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate communicating user plane data over common control resources by specifying a UTRAN radio network temporary identifier (U-RNTI). In this regard, a Node B or an RNC receiving the user plane data can associate the data to the UE based on the U-RNTI. The user plane data can be transmitted in a control message with the associated U-RNTI, such as a CELL UPDATE message or another message having a U-RNTI specified in a media access control (MAC)-i header or other header in the message. The control message can also include parameters regarding the existence and specifications of the user plane data. In this regard, a UE can communicate user plane data when in a (UTRAN) registration area paging channel (URA_PCH) or other relatively inactive state though it has not received an enhanced radio network temporary identifier (E_RNTI).
