Method and Apparatus for Channel Fallback in Enhanced Cell Forward Access Channel Dedicated Channel
First Claim
1. A method for communicating in a wireless network, comprising:
- indicating fallback information to a network component specifying whether fallback resources are preferred for communicating uplink data;
receiving a fallback decision from the network component specifying whether the fallback resources are to be used for communicating the uplink data; and
determining whether to communicate the uplink data to the network component based in part on the fallback decision.

Abstract
The described aspects include a user equipment (UE) apparatus, network apparatus, and corresponding methods of using fallback resources for communication. The UE can indicate fallback information to a network apparatus specifying whether fallback resources are preferred for communicating uplink data and can receive a fallback decision from the network apparatus specifying whether fallback resources are to be used for communicating the uplink data. The UE can then determine whether to communicate the uplink data to the network apparatus based in part on the fallback decision. The network apparatus can receive a preamble from a UE related to requesting access for transmitting uplink data and can determine a fallback decision specifying whether the UE is to utilize fallback resources in communicating the uplink data. The network apparatus then communicates the fallback decision to the UE.
