Abstract  Abstract

Efficient Enhanced Transport Format Combination (E-TFC) selection methods and apparatus support Flexible Radio Link Control (RLC) Packet Data Unit (PDU) size and Media Access Control (MAC) layer splitting. As part of the E-TFC selection, a method is provided for populating Enhanced Media Access Control (MAC-e) Packet Data Units (PDUs) with data from logical channels. In one embodiment, the E-TFC selection algorithm employs a single request from the MAC layer to the RLC layer to request the number of bits allowed to send on the logical channel to generate an enhanced MAC-e PDU. In another embodiment, the MAC entity makes multiple requests to the RLC entity. In another embodiment, the MAC entity makes a single request to the RLC entity to generate one or more enhanced MAC-e PDUs of the set size. Techniques are also provided for maintaining a guaranteed bit rate (GBR) for unscheduled data flows with variable length headers.
