Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, data transmitted from a transmitter is received in a downlink channel, and channel quality data is fed back to the transmitter in a first uplink channel or in a second uplink channel. Channel quality data is feedback at a lower rate on the first uplink channel and channel quality data is feedback at a higher rate on the second uplink channel in the event there is a higher amount of data to be fed back. Link adaptation may be utilized to select a transmission rate on the second uplink channel, wherein the transmission rate is selected based at least in part on a channel condition or a user location.

Abstract: Techniques for transmit power control for multiple antenna transmissions in an uplink are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) generates at least one input stream for transmission and applies a gain factor to each channel. The gain factor is determined based on a reference channel power estimate. The WTRU generates at least two data streams from the input stream for transmission via a plurality of antennas and applies weights to the data streams. The gain factor and/or the weights are controlled such that a transmit power on each antenna is within a maximum allowed value. The WTRU may perform power scaling on a condition that a transmit power on any antenna exceeds the maximum allowed value. The WTRU may scale down an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) dedicated physical data channel (E-DPDCH) first before other channels. For multiple E-DCH streams, the WTRU may calculate an E-DPDCH power offset based on an additional power offset factor due to multiple stream transmission.
