Method And Apparatus For Selecting Enhanced Dedicated Channel Transport Format Combination In Cell_Fach State And Idle Mode
First Claim
1. A method for performing enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) transport format combination (E-TFC) restriction for E-DCH transmissions in Cell Forward Access Channel (Cell_FACH) state or idle mode, the method comprising:
- a WTRU transmitting a random access channel (RACH) preamble;
the WTRU receiving an index to an E-DCH resource in response to the RACH preamble;
the WTRU estimating the power headroom for at least an initial E-TFC restriction based on at least a WTRU maximum transmit power, a power offset value and a last transmitted RACH preamble transmit power; and
the WTRU performing E-TFC restriction to determine a set of supported E-TFCs based on the estimated power headroom.

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.
