Abstract
Method of and apparatus for searching for enhanced dedicated channel transport format combinations (E-TFCs) in a table is disclosed. A transmission time interval (TTI) and an E-TFC data are received. An appropriate E-TFC table is selected based on the received TTI and E-TFC data. The E-TFC table is split into a plurality of sub-tables. All the E-TFCs in each of the sub-tables have the same maximum power reduction value and are continuous in the table. Each sub-table is searched.
