Abstract

A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) and a method performed by the WTRU for receiving radio resource control (RRC) signaling including information indicating a primary cell and at least one non-primary cell, receiving a single message with scheduling information indicating an allocation of uplink resources and a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process ID, wherein the WTRU has one or more HARQ processes and uplink transmissions by the WTRU utilize asynchronous HARQ, and transmitting to at least the non-primary cell an uplink transmission using a HARQ process indicated by the HARQ process ID and the allocation of uplink resources.

Claims (21)

1. A method performed by a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:

receiving radio resource control (RRC) signaling including information indicating a primary cell and at least one non-primary cell;

receiving a single message with scheduling information indicating an allocation of uplink resources and a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process ID, wherein the WTRU has one or more HARQ processes and uplink transmissions by the WTRU utilize asynchronous HARQ; and

transmitting to at least the non-primary cell an uplink transmission using a HARQ process indicated by the HARQ process ID and the allocation of uplink resources.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a negative acknowledgement is determined based on the received HARQ process ID.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the primary cell schedules uplink transmissions that are transmitted by the WTRU to the at least one non-primary cell.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising communicating HARQ feedback using a control channel only of the primary cell.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU has a maximum transmission level for all cell transmissions.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a transmission power of the uplink transmission is limited based on the maximum transmission level.

7. A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a receiver; and

a transmitter,

wherein the receiver and the transmitter are configured to cause the WTRU to:

receive radio resource control (RRC) signaling including information indicating a primary cell and at least one non-primary cell;

receive a single message with scheduling information indicating an allocation of uplink resources and a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process ID, wherein the WTRU has one or more HARQ processes and uplink transmissions by the WTRU utilize asynchronous HARQ; and

transmit to at least the non-primary cell an uplink transmission using a HARQ process indicated by the HARQ process ID and the allocation of uplink resources.

8. The WTRU of claim 7 , wherein a negative acknowledgement is determined based on the received HARQ process ID.

9. The WTRU of claim 7 , wherein the primary cell schedules uplink transmissions that are transmitted by the WTRU to the at least one non-primary cell.

10. The WTRU of claim 7 , wherein the receiver and the transmitter are further configured to communicate HARQ feedback using a control channel only of the primary cell.

11. The WTRU of claim 7 , wherein the WTRU has a maximum transmission level for all cell transmissions.

12. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein a transmission power of the uplink transmission is limited based on the maximum transmission level.
