Method and apparatus for minimizing redundant enhanced dedicated channel allocation information
Abstract
A method and wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) that does not have an allocation of enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) resources is disclosed. The WTRU transmits E-DCH channel allocation information to a Node-B. In response to transmitting the E-DCH channel allocation information, the WTRU activates a timer. On a condition that an acknowledgement to the transmitted E-DCH channel allocation information is not received, the WTRU retransmits the E-DCH channel allocation information. On a condition that an acknowledgement to the transmitted E-DCH channel allocation information is received, the WTRU waits to transmit the E-DCH channel allocation information or updated E-DCH channel allocation information until the timer expires.
