Method and apparatus for data transmission/scheduling for uplink packet data service in a mobile communication system

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for scheduling uplink data transmission in a mobile communication system. The method and apparatus include a base station scheduler for efficiently allocating radio communication resources in a mobile communication system using an E-DCH or DCH. The method and apparatus further include a User Equipment (UE) for using both an E-DCH and a conventional DCH to efficiently select the data rate of the E-DCH and the data rate of the conventional DCH. The method and apparatus can maintain the total transmit power of the UE at the time of retransmission the same as the total transmit power of the UE at the time of initial transmission regardless of the existence or absence of the DCH, thereby minimizing the change in the quantity of interference generated in the uplink by the UE.
