MANAGEMENT AND SETUP OF ENHANCED MAC-E/ES RESOURCES IN CELL-FACH STATE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods to manage E-DCH resources and to manage TSN numbering.SOLUTION: A method and apparatus are disclosed to manage enhanced medium access control-e (MAC-e) and enhanced MAC-es resources and respective variables for the enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) in an enhanced Cell_FACH state. Due to the nature of the E-DCH transmission in the uplink (UL) in the Cell_FACH state and the fact that a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) might set up and release the E-DCH resources more frequently, methods to deal with the TSN numbering are described.
