Abstract

A method and apparatus for adjusting power grants in wireless communications. Multiple power grant tables are stored and one or more tables are designated during communication.

Claims (30)

1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a signal indicating enhanced absolute grant value channel information, wherein the enhanced absolute grant value channel information is indicative of a modulation type; and

a processor configured to:

determine a segment of an absolute grant value table based on the signal;

determine an absolute grant value from the segment of the absolute grant value table; and

send data in accordance with the determined absolute grant value and the modulation type.

2. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the signal comprises an offset.

3. The WTRU of claim 2 , wherein the offset indicates the segment of the absolute grant value table to be used.

4. The WTRU of claim 2 , wherein the offset corresponds to the modulation type.

5. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the segment corresponds to the modulation type.

6. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the absolute grant value table is stored in the WTRU.

7. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the signal is received from a higher layer.

8. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the signal is received in a Radio Access Network (RAN) through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

9. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the modulation type is 16-symbol quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) or binary phase-shift keying (BPSK).

10. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the absolute grant value is characterized by a square of a ratio of enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) dedicated physical data channel (E-DPDCH) amplitude to E-DCH dedicated physical control channel (E-DPCCH) amplitude.

11. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a signal indicating enhanced absolute grant value channel information, wherein the enhanced absolute grant value channel information is indicative of a modulation type; and

a processor configured to:

determine an offset based on the signal;

apply the offset to an absolute grant value table to determine an absolute grant value; and

send data in accordance with the determined absolute grant value and the modulation type.

12. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the offset indicates a starting index of the absolute grant value table.

13. The WTRU of claim 12 , wherein the starting index corresponds to the modulation type.

14. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the signal comprises the offset.

15. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the offset corresponds to the modulation type.

16. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the absolute grant value table is stored in the WTRU.

17. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the signal is received from a higher layer.

18. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the signal is received in a Radio Access Network (RAN) through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

19. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the modulation type is 16-symbol quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) type or binary phase-shift keying (BPSK).

20. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the absolute grant value is characterized by a square of a ratio of enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) dedicated physical data channel (E-DPDCH) amplitude to E-DCH dedicated physical control channel (E-DPCCH) amplitude.
