Abstract  Abstract

An integrated circuit (IC) for processing data blocks received from a plurality of data sources. The IC includes at least one re-ordering function entity, higher protocol layers and an interface for receiving at least one copy of a successfully decoded data block from the data sources. The IC uses the re-ordering function entity to process the copy of the successfully decoded data block to support in-sequence delivery to the higher protocol layers. The IC discards extra copies of a successfully decoded data block received from the data sources. Each data source may be an enhanced uplink soft handover (EU-SHO) Node-B. Each data source may include a medium access control (MAC) entity that handles enhanced uplink dedicated channel (EU-DCH) functionalities. The IC may be located in a serving radio network controller (S-RNC) that processes data blocks forwarded to the S-RNC by the data sources during soft handover.
