APPARATUS AND METHODS OF UNAMBIGUOUS MAC-I PDU FORMATTING

摘要

The described aspects include a user equipment (UE) apparatus and corresponding method of performing a High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) transmission. The aspects include determining availability of information for transmission while the UE is in a Cell_FACH state and an idle mode. Further, aspects include generating a message including a scheduling information (SI) indicator during a collision resolution phase of an uplink procedure when SI data is allowed to be transmitted during the collision resolution phase, wherein the SI indicator identifies whether the SI data is included in a Medium Access Control-i (MAC-i) Packet Data Unit (PDU). Additionally, the aspects include transmitting the message, destined for a network component, during the collision resolution phase. The described aspects also include a corresponding network component and method for receiving the message and unambiguously determining presence of SI data in the MAC-i PDU.
