Abstract: A method and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), including a universal subscriber identity module (USIM), for identifying a closed subscriber group (CSG) cell are disclosed. The WTRU receives a broadcast from a cell including a cell identifier (ID). If the cell ID is associated with a CSG cell, the WTRU determines whether the CSG ID is programmed in the USIM. The cell broadcast may include a single bit information element (IE) indicating that the cell is a CSG cell. If the cell ID is a CSG ID, the cell ID may further include a plurality of fields which indicate at least one of a country, a region, an operator, and a home evolved Node-B (HeNB) number. The cell broadcast may further include a bit indicating whether the CSG cell is public or private. The cell broadcast may further include a bit indicating that emergency calls are allowed from all users.

Abstract: An enhanced uplink user equipment is in soft handover. A radio network controller selects a primary Node-B out of a plurality of Node-Bs supporting the soft handover. The radio network controller receiving successfully received enhanced uplink data packets from the plurality of Node-Bs. The radio network controller reordered the successfully received enhanced uplink data packets for in-sequence deliver. The primary Node-B sends specified scheduling information to the user equipment that the other Node-Bs does not transmit. At least the primary Node-B transmits acknowledgements and negative acknowledgements to the user equipment.

Abstract: An eNB may receive a first signal from a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), including a closed subscriber group identification (CSG ID) for a home eNodeB (HeNB). The eNB may send, based on the first signal, a membership verification request with the CSG ID for the HeNB to a core network. The eNB may receive a result of a membership verification indicating that the WTRU is permitted to access the HeNB. The eNB may send, based on the result of the membership verification, a message to the HeNB for the HeNB to establish communication with the WTRU, wherein the message includes radio access bearer (RAB) information associated with the WTRU. The eNB may receive a configuration message from the HeNB. The eNB may transmit a second signal including a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message to the WTRU, the RRC reconfiguration message based on the received configuration message from the HeNB.

Abstract: A transmitting device may receive a radio link control (RLC) status report from a user equipment (UE) that indicates that a first RLC protocol data unit (PDU) is missing. The first RLC PDU may be multiplexed with a RLC PDU associated with a second priority to produce a second data block. The second priority may be higher priority than the first priority. The second data block may be transmitted using hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ).

Abstract: A wireless digital communication system includes a base station in communication with a plurality of user equipment mobile terminals (UEs). The system prioritizes the forwarding of blocks of downlink data to designated ones of the UEs. The system employs adaptive modulation and coding (AM&C) to achieve improved radio resource utilization and provides optimum data rates for user services. Blocks of downlink (DL) data are received by the base station which requests downlink (DL) channel quality measurements only from those mobile terminals (UEs) with pending downlink transmissions. The UEs respond to the request by measuring and reporting DL channel quality to the base station, which then allocates resources such that the UEs will make best use of radio resources. The base station notifies the UEs of the physical channel allocation indicating the modulation/coding rate and allocated slots followed by transmission of blocks of downlink data which are transmitted to the UEs.

Abstract: An uplink signal may be transmitted by a user equipment (UE) in a time interval using an uplink control channel. The uplink signal may include hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) control information related to received downlink data. If the UE determines that information indicating a coding and modulation is to be transmitted at a same time interval as the H-ARQ control information, the uplink signal may include the information that indicates the coding and modulation.

The downlink signal may include a second indication as to applying the resource assignment to a single time interval or plurality of time intervals, which the UE may determine. The UE may receive a second downlink signal in the first time interval in the first resource and in the number of consecutive resources in the sequence on a condition that the resource assignment is for a single time interval, and a second downlink signal in each of the plurality of time intervals in the first resource and in the number of consecutive resources in the sequence on a condition that the resource assignment is for the plurality of time intervals.

Abstract: The present invention is a procedure for a self configuring eNB/E-UTRAN.

Abstract: A system and method which permit the RNC to control purging of data buffered in the Node B. The RNC monitors for a triggering event, which initiates the purging process. The RNC then informs the Node B of the need to purge data by transmitting a purge command, which prompts the Node B to delete at least a portion of buffered data. The purge command can include instructions for the Node B to purge all data for a particular UE, data in one or several user priority transmission queues or in one or more logical channels in the Node B, depending upon the particular data purge triggering event realized in the RNC.

Abstract: The transmission and retransmission of radio link control (RLC) data protocol data units (PDUs) is managed by user equipment (UE). An indication is received, by the UE, that an RLC data PDU was not received by a receiving device. The RLC data PDU, that was not received, is retransmitted and prioritized over other RLC data PDUs. A number of times that the RLC data PDU was retransmitted is tracked by the UE.

Abstract: A wireless communication method and system for controlling the current data bit rate of a radio link (RL) to maintain the quality of the RL. The system includes a core network (CN), a radio network controller (RNC) and at least one wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The RL is established between the RNC and the WTRU. The RNC establishes a guaranteed data bit rate, a maximum data bit rate and a current data bit rate associated with the RL. When the RNC senses an event which indicates that the quality of the RL has substantially deteriorated, the RNC reduces the value of the current data bit rate. Then, in a recovery process, if a similar event does not occur during an established waiting period, the RNC restores the current data bit rate back to the maximum data bit rate.

Abstract: Enhancements are provided for the radio link control (RLC) protocol in wireless communication systems where variable RLC packet data unit (PDU) size is allowed. When flexible RLC PDU sizes are configured by upper layers, radio network controller (RNC)/Node B flow control, RLC flow control, status reporting and polling mechanisms are configured to use byte count based metrics in order to prevent possible buffer underflows in the Node B and buffer overflows in the RNC. The enhancements proposed herein for the RLC apply to both uplink and downlink communications.
