    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is configured to receive at least one serving grant and at least one non-scheduled grant. The at least one serving grant is a grant for scheduled data transmission. The at least one non-scheduled grant is a grant for non-scheduled data transmission. The WTRU is configured to determine supported enhanced dedicated channel transport format combinations (E-TFCs) within a E-TFC set (E-TFCS) based on a remaining transmit power for enhanced uplink (EU) transmission. The WTRU is configured to limit medium access control for dedicated channel (MAC-d) flow data multiplexed into a medium access control for enhanced uplink (MAC-e) protocol data unit (PDU) to a largest E-TFC size that is smaller than a size of MAC-d flow data allowed by the received serving and non-scheduled grants and available for transmission.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may receive a first downlink signal, which may include a resource assignment having an indication of a first resource of a plurality of resources. The resource assignment may also have an indication of a number of resources of the plurality of resources. In addition, the plurality of resources may be consecutive resources in a sequence. Further, the first downlink signal may include an indication of a first time interval of a plurality of time intervals and a number of time intervals of the plurality of time intervals to which the resource assignment applies. Moreover, the plurality of time intervals may be consecutive time intervals. Additionally, the UE may receive at least one additional downlink signal over a downlink shared channel in the plurality of resources and in the plurality of time intervals. In an example, the first downlink signal may be received over a downlink signaling channel.

    Abstract: A Node-B sends a polling message to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The WTRU sends an uplink synchronization burst in response to the polling message without contention. The Node-B estimates an uplink timing shift based on the synchronization burst and sends an uplink timing adjustment command to the WTRU. The WTRU then adjusts uplink timing based on the uplink timing adjustment command. Alternatively, the Node-B may send a scheduling message for uplink synchronization to the WTRU. The WTRU may send a synchronization burst based on the scheduling message. Alternatively, the WTRU may perform contention-based uplink synchronization after receiving a synchronization request from the Node-B. The WTRU may enter an idle state instead of performing a handover to a new cell when the WTRU moves to the new cell. A discontinuous reception (DRX) interval for the WTRU may be set based on activity of the WTRU.
