[0043] Uplink data is transmitted on a conventional E-DCH within a PHY layer transmission period TTI (Transmission Time Interval), and, at the same time, a MAC-e Control PDU including scheduling information is transmitted on another E-DCH.
[0044] The MAC-e entity of the UE reports the amount of buffered data to the Node B as scheduling information. The Node B then allocates the maximum data rate to the UE based on the scheduling information. The UE transmits packet data at or below the allocated maximum data rate, or at the minimum data rate when no data rate is allocated to the UE. Subsequently, the UE transmits scheduling information according to a predetermined rule.
[0045] image 3 E-DCH transmission according to an embodiment of the invention is illustrated. The E-DCH transmission operation includes a process 301 for transmitting data on the second E-DCH (E-DCH #2) and a process 310 for transmitting scheduling information on the first E-DCH (E-DCH #1) .

[0070] Although MAC-e data PDUs and MAC-e control PDUs are transmitted on different E-DCHs, only one type of E-DCH is allowed to be transmitted within one TTI. Compared to the first embodiment of the invention which transmits both MAC-e data PDUs and MAC-e control PDUs at the same time, the separate MAC-e PDU transmission eliminates what would otherwise be caused by multiple ACK / NACK signals Dissipation of Node B transmit power and HARQ complexity caused by transmission to each UE.
[0071] When transmitting PDUs with different attributes, the UE uses different E-DHCs, but transmits only one PDU within one TTI instead of transmitting them at the same time. Although this example uses image 3 Channel configuration shown, but TFC is chosen so that multiple E-DCHs are not multiplexed within one TTI.
[0072] An example E-TFC for transmitting one E-DCH in one TTI is given in Table 2 below.

[0078] One E-DCH is transmitted in one TTI, and the transmission of the MAC-e Control PDU is notified through a TF used to demodulate the E-DCH. More specifically, the UE transmits an indicator indicating transmission of a MAC-e Control PDU including scheduling information. Preferably, the indicator is a predetermined TF.
[0079] When necessary, the UE transmits a MAC-e Control PDU including scheduling information or a MAC-e Data PDU including packet data on one E-DCH. In the previous case, the UE transmits an indicator indicating a MAC-e control PDU on a further control channel.
[0080] If the indicator indicates that the received MAC-e PDU is a MAC-e Control PDU including scheduling information, the Node B provides the MAC-e PDU to the MAC-e controller. If the indicator indicates that the received MAC-e PDU is a MAC-e data PDU, the Node B stores the MAC-e PDU in a reordering buffer so that it can be delivered to upper layers. The MAC-e controller reads information about...
