Scheduling data transmission by medium access control (MAC) layer in a mobile network

摘要

A method and strategy for transport format combination (TFC) selection and related algorithms in wireless communications. The method provides procedures used by the MAC layer in both the UE and the RNC to schedule data transmission. In the inventive method, it is determined whether the monitored transmit power exceeds a maximum transmit power in a given number of successive time periods and a transport format combination (TFC) set is limited to a minimum TFC set in response to a positive determination.
